OUTWARD GIVING

In common with many other churches, HTSM donates some of its income to other charities as part of its mission, and has done so for many years. Last year, following a review, the PCC formally adopted an Outward Giving policy..

The ‘cash’ part of this Outward Giving is 10% of the income from the Planned Giving scheme (regular donations by parishioners).

At present, this is made up of 3 donations of 20 % of last year’s income to charities with which we have a long-term link:

Kwasa College, Springs, Johannesberg; link - Stephen Marriott

Holy Trinity Pewley Down School; link – Simon Butler

Guildford Town Centre Chaplaincy; link – Keith Harper

and 4 donations of 10% of last year’s income to charities with which we have a current link through members of the congregation. For the period 2025-8;

Nazareth Way  (the Charity supporting the work of the Chaplaincy at HMP Send); link – Jan Hancock

Christians Against Poverty (the Guildford branch of this national charity which helps support people to become debt-free)- link Mike Bishop

Shooting Stars Children’s Hospice (for the Guildford area); link – Mark Lee

Medecins Sans Frontières (which provides emergency medical help world-wide); link - David Uzzell
