Giving to St Nics
Why we need
your help
It costs us over £4,000 each week to run St Nicolas and keep the church open to the community. Your regular giving provides us with regular income towards these costs, which helps us take responsible decisions about our work in the Parish.
To maintain the Church, the churchyard, the St Nicolas Rooms, and to support the work we do in the Community including our Mission Giving to Local, National and International Charities, and carry out all its activities, the Church relies entirely on voluntary donations from parishioners and other supporters.
If you are not able to give financially or if you would like to give in other ways too: We very much welcome your gifts and your time in helping us run our many activities and community outreach, as well as in the maintenance of the Church and the churchyard. See below for more details about that.
