As a Church we have a policy of giving to charity from our unrestricted income - this is based on a sum of up to 5%.
We have adopted an annual, 3-year revolving policy when selecting the area where we are to give - the three areas are:
-
Local charity (Oxford diocese)
-
National charity (United Kingdom)
-
International (Worldwide)
Charities for 2024 are:
-

All donations go direct to Christian Aid but will be credited to the fund raising of the Bicester group
