COLLECTIONS & 100 CLUB
PARISH WEEKLY COLLECTIONS
Several parishioners have asked me what they should do with their weekly planned giving envelopes or cash donations. Some have told me they will send me a cheque payable to “Buxton R.C.P.” Others have said they will change to giving by Standing Orders forms (see below). Thanks to all those who already give through Standing Orders. You give about 35% of our weekly collection. Thank you all for whatever way you contribute! The new planned giving boxes are due to start next weekend April 11th and 12th. Obviously I can save them until we return to church. In the meanwhile, most of our regular maintenance and expense costs continue as normal.
This might be the right time to change to Standing Orders or you can send me a cheque now or later or you can put some cash for the parish in your piggy bank at home. Thank you all for thinking of our financial needs in this period without Sunday collections.

RELAUNCHING THE ‘100 CLUB’
This is our invitation to you – help the parish by joining the new 100 Club. It costs £1 each week, £4 monthly, £48 annually and will be drawn each month. We shall give 50% of the takings back in prizes and 50% to the parish. We were thinking of using this to decorate the church interior, upgrade the church toilet and flower room and renew the lighting. Forms are available today. Viv Robinson will be the agent for 6 pm Mass and Fabio Feroleto for 10 am Mass. £100 and £25 prizes every month. Please make Standing Orders and Cheques payable to “St Anne’s RC Parish, Buxton”

St Anne’s Development Fund (STAND)
There are a number of ways you can help St Anne’s Development Fund (STAND) mainten, repair and improve our Church, Presbytery and St Anne’s Community Centre.
SHARE YOUR GOOD FORTUNE
If you are fortunate to receive a lottery win, a raffle ticket cash prize, a Premium Bond pay out, or your long-term ISA or other investment matures, why not share some of that good fortune to support our parish maintenance, repair and improvement programme?
You can donate using a STAND donation envelope (with Gift Aid option) at the back of our Church and place it in the Church STAND Donation Box or use the STAND Donation Box in the Community Centre.
RAISE FREE FUNDS FOR US AT NO COST TO YOU
Easyfundraising and Easysearch are two great ways to raise money for us as it costs you nothing!
Here's how to fundraise for STAND by your online shopping - at no extra cost to you.

There is also an Easyfundraising app for iOS and Android devices (mobile phone, tablets). All you need to do is visit your App store on IOS or Play store on Android and download it (its free). You can also download a ‘Donation Reminder’ so that if you forget and go directly to your online retailer, it’ll ask you if you want to raise a donation.
Support STAND by your Online Browsing
Make free funds for us rather than profits for Google! We get 0.5p for every search you make using the Easysearch search engine. You don’t have to register. Why not make it your home-page? Pennies eventually turn into £s!
DONATIONS, GRANTS, AWARDS, LEGACIES
We have had some success in applying for grants and receiving donations to help improve our Community Centre but there is still much to do to it and our Church. We really do need your continued support. Perhaps leaving a legacy is something you might not have considered?
If you would like to donate or arrange a legacy or to help with fundraising, grant-searching and applying, please get in touch by emailing stannesbuxton@gmail.com, or by telephoning 01298 23777.
Many thanks.
