In 2012, the Managing
Trustees decided to make this giving more transparent, by arranging a focus on
a different appeal each month. Under the tag-name ‘GIFO’ (Giving to Funds for
Others) we invite folk to make a contribution if they feel moved and are able
to do so. Since 2012, we have raised over £30,000 in this way for good
causes.
Each month, information
is provided in the church weekly magazine ‘Pews News’ about the “GIFO Appeal”
for the month. Special donation envelopes are made available and these are
placed in the collection plate during the offering.
Each month's focus
charity is nominated by a chosen group of people from the church community.
In February 2016, the GIFO Appeal was for Water-Aid.
