The principal purpose of ‘The Parish Funding Programme’ is to generate sufficient Planned Giving to enable Parishes to fund their continuing mission and future plans.
The programme has, at its heart, the discernment and communication of God’s vision and purpose for the Parish, together with any planned initiatives. This forms the basis for assessing future funding needs and the required increase in planned giving.Grateful thanks are acknowledged to the Diocese of Guildford, and to Tony Hennessey-Brown who developed this package.
