All of the charities are nominated by members of the congregation. 

We currently give £6,000 each year to charities. Our three focus charities receive £1,250 each and six other charities are given £500 each.

On Mission Giving Sundays a speaker from a focus charity gives a presentation at the 11am service. At Evensong a representative from St Mary's addresses the congregation.
