St Matthew's Fundraising Policy

	The Community & Mission Ministry is responsible for developing mission at St Matthew's both by raising funds to supplement the Church's income and also to donate to our adopted charities and others as appropriate.
	In October of each year the congregation will be invited to nominate one home charity and one overseas charity from which the PCC will vote to select the adopted charities for the following year at their November meeting.
	Our Lent boxes and Midnight Mass offering would be donated to our chosen charities as would selected events throughout the year.
	In concentrating on our two charities we limit other giving by the church to The Hope Centre, Christian Aid and the Christingle Appeal for the Children's Society. However, we also consider as appropriate national and international disasters.
	This policy will be subject to review every September.

This policy was adopted by the PCC in September 2009.
