Keep on giving

by
21 April 2017

NOW that Lent is over, it is time to gather all the donations to the Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund. Many ordinands have no safety net to fall back on. If any of them encounters an unexpected expense, he or she can apply to the TAP Special Hardship Fund — but only if there are the resources available in the fund to help.

We still take cheques, postal orders, cash, and charity cheques. But giving online is easiest for many donors, and for us. Simply visit www.hymnsam.co.uk/train-a-priest.aspx. This is a secure page with clear instructions.

Please send other donations to: TAP Fund, Church Times, 13a Hellesdon Park Road, Norwich NR6 5DR. If you would like an acknowledgement, please enclose a SAE.

UK taxpayers can boost their gift by making a Gift Aid declaration. Please do this on our online donations page, or by enclosing a form from an earlier issue.
