All Saints, Carshalton

All Saints, like most churches, is funded by donations from individuals, which amount on average to nearly £100 per day. The running costs (staff, heating, lighting, insurance etc.) amount to about £180 per day, so we are seeking ways of increasing our income substantially.

The Church of England is defined as an Excepted Charity under the Charities Act 1993 Part II Section 3 (S). That means it is a registered charity under UK law, but has no charity number.

Having the church open for services, activities and events costs approximately £35 per hour for insurance, heating and lighting; when you use the church, please consider making a donation to cover these costs.

The running costs would be far higher were it not for the substantial contribution of many volunteers who help in the running the church, for which we are very grateful.

When one-off expenditure arises (for example, the church roof will require replacement soon) we have to draw on our reserves, which built up over many years, mostly from money left to All Saints in people's wills, but are quickly being spent.

Please consider whether you can contribute more to the running of the church, and whether you could remember All Saints Church in your will.

Thank you
