Our General Fund provides money to enable us to pay our vicar, our running costs, our expenses and our general maintenance. By giving to this (either a one off donation or a regular gift) you are enabling us to provide our services and to maintain this magnificent building.

NOTE : We have to raise almost all the money to run our church and keep our building up locally.
If you want a church to be here and a vicar to be available for you and our community, please help us provide this service by giving in some way to us.
Also Note : some of Hook Church monies are adminstered by the Diocese of Sheffield (our regional church organisation). These include the vicar’s wages and monies which help us provide other local services. Though we pay money to Sheffield to enable this paying of or our staff and services we use, OUR GENERAL fund does not, currently, more widely support the work of the Diocese of Sheffield or Church of England. i.e. EVERYTHING you give to our General Fund is used to provide a church and church staff and services here.
If you can GIFT AID your donation it gives us an extra 25p for each £1 you give us. This makes a big difference to us.
Baptism Donations
If you are giving at a Baptism, it helps our audit trail if you give using the button above, rather than the General Fund button. The money goes to the same place and is used for the same purposes (see above)
Funeral Donations
If you are giving at a Funeral often the funds are shared with one or more other charity. It helps ensure the money goes to these places if you give using this page or our website and then to the individual’s causes.
Giving in memory of someone or leaving some money in your will can be meaningful and have a lasting impact.
Often such gifts enable us to achieve a specific goal or obtain or do something suitably special.
Whilst legacies given into general funds do not create a specific memory they are nevertheless lasting in the lives of those who benefit from the work the church is able to do as a result of being able to afford to be here in your community serving you.
Please do consider giving a legacy or in memory of a loved one who has gone on from this world.
Either arrange this through your will or talk with us further about how to do this and what our needs are that might match to what you want your memory to achieve.
Please do consider this option.
