How's the church funded?

Cheques can be made payable to Mossley Parochial Church Council and sent to the Vicarage. Giving by BACS is great too or via Easyfundraising

We are very grateful to all who support our life in any way - with their time, talents, and their financial giving. Our fundraising efforts each year include fairs and social events and much other work by many committed people to safeguard our heritage and support the life of the church in our parish.

Churches do not receive any government, tax-payer, statutory funding or regular financial support - everything is paid for by members of our congregation and others who give regularly and faithfully to support our life, and by fees charged for other services and events.

Like other registered charities, we are able to claim Gift Aid refunds on donations made to us, and we seek grant funding from charities and trusts for major expenses. Our regular expenses include the upkeep of our listed church building, paying our contribution to the Diocese and central Church of England funds (for clergy stipends and pensions and other administrative costs) as well as work done in the parish. 

In early 2020 we received a grant of £10k from Historic England to begin to address urgent issues with the fabric of the building - namely the replacement of the rainwater goods on the north side.

As a parish, we seek to support and to give as much to charitable causes as we are able to.
