Everyone in the civil parish of Stoke St. Mary and Thurlbear is invited to feel part of a future dedication of ensuring that St.Mary’s Church is protected from deterioration of the fabric. You may wish to offer your help in one of the following ways:

(a)   Making a regular donation to St. Mary’s in the form of cash, or a Standing Order. This donation can be made on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annual basis.

(b)   Joining a Planned Giving scheme using Envelopes. One year’s supply of 52 envelopes can be provided for you to put aside a sum on a weekly basis. The envelopes can be collected at monthly (or longer) intervals whatever is convenient.

(c)   Including in your Last Will & Testament, a legacy to St. Mary’s Church. (Call the PCC Treasurer for information on how to leave a legacy in your Will or changing your Will to leave a Gift to St. Mary's Church).

(d)   Supporting in any way possible the events that form the activities of the annual fund-raising calendar of St. Mary’s church.

We will provide all printed forms necessary to help you in your support for the church. These include Standing Order forms and Gift Aid forms so that if you are a basic rate taxpayer we will be able to claim an additional amount from the taxman.

The above forms are available at this site at www.stokestmary.net/stmary.htm
