Proceeds from the fete go to St Mary’s Church. Why does St Mary’s Church need money? Let me give you a couple of examples: during January the interior of St Mary’s was decorated at a cost of £6,000. The fabric of the church is generally in good condition however cracks are appearing in the ancient font and we would like to have work done on this before too long.
The Church also has a policy of annually donating a percentage of its income to charity, the following charities benefited in 2009: NSPCC, Helen & Douglas House, Pump Aid and Church Housing Trust.
