At St. Peter’s, we welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small and we promise to use your gift to make a difference to our parish. Our PCC Legacy Policy is to use gifts to help fund significant development projects, whether buildings, equipment or staff wherever possible.
Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to discuss your wishes with the PCC treasurer so that your gift can be used effectively and make a lasting difference to the life of St. Peter’s. There are a number of existing funds which can benefit or a new fund can be created to ensure that your legacy is used as you would have wished.
If you leave a gift in your will for the general purposes of the parish rather than for a restricted purpose we will discuss possible uses of your gift with your executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest in the church (e.g. music, liturgy, buildings, children and youth) and the church’s priorities at the time.
You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to our future mission and ministry.
We acknowledge gifts in whatever way the donor and/or his/her executors feel most appropriate. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if the donor prefers.
If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact Alan Hudson our treasurer on 020 8950 3451.
If you would like to make a gift to our church in memoriam, please come and discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember.
