Friends of All Saints'
The Friends of All Saints' is a registered charity (no.1138185) established in 2010 when the church building needed expensive repairs beyond the scope of the church's routine maintenance budget. In 2015 the Friends were able to make a substantial donation to the Parochial Church Council which, with a significant grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, was able to get the work done.
All Saints' is an old building and will continue to need costly repairs from time to time. The charity is essentially concerned with preserving a vital part of Braunston's heritage. The Friends are committed to building up reserves so that necessary repairs in the future can be undertaken promptly. Money raised can only be spent on the building and its surrounds.
Many people who may not be particularly concerned about faith or ministry do nonetheless have a great deal of affection for the building and are keen to support it financially to ensure that it remains intact for years to come. If you would like to join them in supporting the Friends you can do this in a number of ways.
- A regular donation by standing order. This can be monthly, quarterly or annually. The amount is up to you. Even a modest £2 per month (less than 7p per day) helps.
- A 'one-off' donation.
- Legacy Giving.
- Donate online. Using the secure site www.give.net
All donations,small or large will help to preserve All Saints' for future generations of worshipers, for the enjoyment of passing boaters and other visitors. It will also continue to provide a place for village events such as concerts and art festivals.
Everyone donating £20 or more becomes a member of the charity until the next AGM which is normally held in March and brings the right to a free night of spire floodlighting with a dedication in the Braunston Village News.
Email friends@allsaintsbraunston.org.uk for further information and standing order forms.
If you donate online please let us know so that we can send you details of the floodlighting concession.
