PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. We appreciate the many difficulties and hardships that people are going through, with many out of work. If, however, you feel you can make a contribution at this time, a standing order is the easiest option for your regular giving. This can be done via online banking, or by completing and sending a paper Standing Order form to your Bank. In either case, please contact Phil Hood on 01785 211701 and he will help you. Alternatively, you may like to give a one-off donation. You will need access to the internet for this.
