Change 4 Change

This is an idea to be able to raise additional money for the church development project. All you need to do is simply empty any loose change from your pocket / purse /wallet at the end of the day and put it into a jar or pot When we have our next fund raising event or when the pot is getting full just empty it into a bag and bring it to the event or to church. If you qualify for gift aid don't forget to include your donor number in the bag so we can claim the gift aid.

Make a donation by Text

To make it easier to donate money to the Building development fund the team have added the ability to donate via a text message. Text CCWC11 followed by the amount in pounds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10) to 70070 >more

The service is provided by the Vodaphone foundation and 100% of your donation comes to the church.  The only additional charge is a standard text message. If you have a text bundle its included in that (even if you are not with Vodaphone). For more information such as how to add gift aid to the donation see >here
