We are applying for grants from church bodies and charitable trusts. However, the more we can raise locally within Wivenhoe, the stronger our applications will be and the more likely we are to secure additional funding.
Your support truly makes a difference.
There are several ways you can help:
• Make a single donation
• Become a monthly supporter (including ‘Give As You Earn’)
• Support or organise fundraising events
• Offer business sponsorship
• Leave a legacy or memory gift
Make a Single Donation Today
You can make a one-off donation quickly and securely through our Give A Little donation page.
Click the button below to donate now.
Every gift, large or small, helps us move closer to completing the roof repairs.
Become a Monthly Supporter
Regular giving helps us plan with confidence and demonstrate strong local backing to grant funders.
You can set up a monthly donation running until September 2027.
Please click here to download the monthly giving form. Once completed, this form should be submitted to your bank, not to the church treasurer.
