Within the Benefice the Churches of St Mary's and St James, aim to give 10% of their annual income to our four main Mission Partners along with other charities including the Berkshire Clergy Charity and the Earl Haigh Fund (Poppy Appeal).
This is raised through specific fundraising or direct giving by the Church.
The following provides some background information on each of our Mission Partners.
