St. Margaret’s church is completely and solely funded from contributions from the congregation and the community, without these contributions your church would not be able to remain open.
On-going Costs
For the upkeep of the church, we welcome donations from all, this will help with general maintenance and repairs.
St Margaret’s Clenchwarton receives no external funding from the government, local authority, or the Church of England. We are therefore reliant on the generosity of our visitors and friends. Last year it cost £66 a day to keep the church running and open 365 days a year for all the community to enjoy. Any significant repairs to the structure of the building or projects to improve the facilities are extra, and funds must be raised to meet the costs. Thank you for your support in preserving St Margaret’s for future generations. Please feel free to drop in a donation, however modest, in the wall safe by the door.
We are now using a great website called easyfundraising to help raise money to improve the facility in our church simply by shopping online.
easyfundraising turns your everyday online shopping into FREE donations when you use them to shop with over 4,000 retailers such as eBay, John Lewis, Argos, ASOS and Booking.com.
Retailers then make a small donation to say ‘thank you’ and easyfundraising gives those free funds to our cause.

Plus, once you’ve signed up and raised £5 in donations, easyfundraising will give us an extra £5 donation. There’s no catch or hidden charges and we at St Margaret’s Church are extremely grateful for any donations that we receive.
Long Term Projects
As a necessary improvement and for the church to become more viable place for the congregation, community and visitors, the church needs to upgrade its facilities. Therefore, church and diocese have agreed a plan to install a kitchen and toilet facilities, this will include disabled access.
We need your support to help raise money to build this modest £80,000 improvement to your parish church. If you can help with a donation or want to run a fundraiser for us, please get in touch with Eileen by emailing fundraising@clenchwarton-church.org.uk and for more information on this project, please contact Debra on warden@clenchwarton-church.org.uk.
