Church financial situation

Many of you will quite rightly have realised that every kind of organisation across the country is facing unprecedented financial challenges, including churches. At QRBC the income we received from room lettings, café and buffets have completely stopped for the foreseeable future. On top of this there has been no Sunday offertory since March 8th.

Our expenditure has been pared back as far as possible during lockdown, including furloughing 4 staff,. We remain committed to our obligations to our charitable partners and, of course,  the utility and other bills require to be paid.

We also appreciate that these unprecedented times are having significant effects on everybody, physically, mentally, spiritually and financially. We are very grateful if you have continued to give by standing order during this time. We do, however, require our income to increase as our finances are on a downward trend.

SUNDAY OFFERTORY – if you usually give your gift on a Sunday in the offertory plate  we now invite you to consider one of the following, this is of course, if you are in a position to do so.

- Set up a standing order

- Make a one off payment direct into the church’s bank  account

- Use your debit or credit card and click "donate now".  (A small charge is deducted from your donation by the card processing company)
