FUNDRAISING & 100 CLUB

ST ANNE’S 100 CLUB 22/23 RENEWALS ARE NOW DUE

Many thanks to those who have renewed over the past weeks. We have made a profit of approx. £5,000 over the past 4 years, and will shortly spend it all, and more, on upgrading behind the scenes at Saint Anne's, so a big thank you for your contributions. Thanks also for your positive reception to increasing the subs to £5.00 monthly to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of everything. To increase your standing order, you can either: Call in at your bank and arrange it over the counter OR arrange it through your online banking platform OR complete a new form. If you don’t pay by standing order already, please consider doing so; forms are available at the back of the church.
If you would like to join, for a chance to win the 1st prize of £100, 2nd prize of £30, and 3rd prize of £20 in our monthly draw, please take a ‘new member’ form today, available from the stewards at the back of the church.

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.

Easyfundraising

We've raised almost £300 in FREE donations by some of us using the Easyfundraising 'gateway' when shopping online. Over 4,500 retailers e.g. M&S, Tesco, John Lewis, Waitrose, Morrisons, and Expedia ... are in the scheme. They donate a % of your purchase price at no extra cost to you when you shop with them via Easyfundraising. Sign up at https://bit.ly/31UEqmQ - it's easy and free! Then next time you shop online for DIY, gardening, groceries, fashion, insurance, power, broadband, holidays etc. you'll raise FREE donations for 'St Anne's RC Church, Buxton, Development Fund'. (This Easyfundraising 'cause' was set up before our Buxton and Chapel 'merger', but it's our new Parish that benefits nonetheless.) Sounds simple? It is! Many thanks.

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.

Please watch this short video.

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.

Finance Reports

.

The SUNDAY CLUB restarted Sunday 15 May with great entertainment from Mad Hatters Music Junior Choir, followed by tea/coffee & biscuits and 'New Age Sports' (kurling, bowls, boccia). However, because St Anne's Community Centre Main Hall is fully booked on future Sundays until August, the Sunday Club is taking a Summer Break and will restart when Sunday Club organisers can be found.  If you want to be contacted about the restart date, please email sundayclubgo@gmail.com.

The donation requested towards costs is still only £3 per person. As before, you need to make your own transport arrangements and if you are uncertain about whether you can participate in any ‘Sunday Club’ physical activity, please seek your doctor’s advice.

Sunday Club monthly meetings are normally, 2 pm-4 pm, in St Anne’s Community Centre, Hardwick Square West, Buxton SK16 6PX. There's often a speaker, demonstration or activity, plus time to sit and chat over tea/coffee and biscuits and try New Age Fun Sports - Indoor Kurling, Boccia and Street Bowls - when other activities allow - and board games when possible.

SUNDAY CLUB HISTORY

St Anne's Pastoral Parish Council (PPC) received funds from Foundation Derbyshire and the High Peak Wellbeing Partnership Small Grants Scheme to start a monthly 'Sunday Club' in 2019 as a great get-together opportunity for those 65 or over who find time drags on Sunday afternoons. However, after several successful meetings, the Sunday Club was suspended in March 2020 because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Now it's back! Information about its previous meetings is at SUNDAY CLUB.

 

The Sunday Club received a £510 cheque from Kelly, Waitrose Community Champion, as the Sunday Club's share from entry in the April 2019 Waitrose Green Token Scheme. Grateful thanks to Waitrose shoppers!
