YOUR GIVING MATTERS, NOW MORE THAN EVER
Do you know someone who was Christened, married, or held their funeral at St Peter and St Paul’s Church? Perhaps you have personally attended a Christmas event or just dropped into the church for a bit of peace? Whatever your reasons, it is great to see that the church has been well looked after by Chatteris residents in the past.
Regardless of individual beliefs or background, everyone is welcome and the church is open to the public every day. For more than a thousand years, in good times and bad, the parish church has stood with the people of our town.
However many do not realize that our church receives no help from the government. It is completely dependent upon the time and money of people like you. It is a community Hub for essential support, children’s activities, Parish Nursing and confidential personal assistance. The medieval buildings are in constant need of repairs. Everything we do is made possible by your love and generosity
Thank you for your ongoing support. We can’t do it without you!
FOUR WAYS you can MAKE A DIFFERENCE
1. Join the MOnthly Giving Scheme
The best way to support your local church is by joining the monthly Parish Giving Scheme. It gives peace of mind. Everything is confidential. It is particularly effective for those who wish to give regularly. How much should you give? The amount is set by you. Regular members are encouraged to give 10% of their monthly income but you can give £5 or £10, or any amount a month. If you change your mind, you can change the amount afterwards. Your regular gift will help Chatteris Church pay its monthly bills; keeping the heat and lights on, and the doors open for the people of our town. The Parish Giving Scheme is a sensible and straightforward option. For more information click on the button below for the monthly Parish Giving Scheme:
2. Make a SINGLE DONATION

3. Mindful shopping
If you are unable to join the Parish Giving Scheme at this time, please sign up to the Easy Fundraising scheme which gives a percentage of your online shop back to charity using hundreds of sites. It only has to be set up once and then each time you go to purchase something it will give the option to tick "Yes" so the company you are buying from will give a small percentage to the church. Every little helps. The link below will allow you to set up Easy Fundraising on your own browser.
4. Make Chatteris Parish Church YOUR named BENEFICIARY
In the past many the people in our town invested in the church to keep it open today. Why not name the Church of St Peter and St Paul Chatteris to ensure its the future for our town? Making a Will and keeping it updated is the only way to make sure your wishes are carried out after your death, giving you peace of mind that you can continue to support the family, friends and causes you love. Giving back to your community in this way is one of the most valuable and lasting ways to make a difference.
