Charities
At St
Wilfrid's, we support the work of local and national charities who need
financial assistance to continue the work they are doing. In 2007, it was
decided to change our giving to take the form of retiring collections. These
happen at our 8.00am and 10.30am Eucharist on
the second and third Sunday of each
month. The charities which we support at the moment have been appointed by the
Church. It is hoped that every year, there would a review to
enable us to
change the charities we we contribute too.
Each of our charities for 2008 are listed below with an opportunity to visit to
find out further information about the latest work being done by each.
