How does our giving to church compare?

TRIO - The Responsibility Is Ours

To set us right for the future

We need an AVERAGE of £9.49 per household per week (i.e. an extra £1.06) to balance the books in 2014.

AND we’re not asking everyone to increase their weekly giving by the same amount because that would be unfair.
