Should you wish to make either a one off or a more regular donation to your parish, please read the information below, this will allow you to choose which is the most convenient way for you.

1. By standing order. You will be able to download and print a standing order form instructing your bank to pay weekly/monthly/annually the amount you wish to give to the Parish. Just follow this link, print and fill in the form, post it to All Saints. We will copy it for our records and send it off to your bank. Alternatively, you can ring the parish office on 01942 273851 between 9am – 2pm and we will arrange for you to receive a standing order mandate.
2. Online: By following this link you can give on a weekly basis whatever you wish. Those of you who have given to Cafod online will be familiar with this type of giving.

3. You can give by text: Just as you would for, say Children in Need or Comic Relief.

It is no longer compulsory to wear masks in church or to receive hand sanitiser, this is a personal choice.  The Red Crosses will remain on every other bench on the two side aisles as these will be kept for those who wish to sit in a socially distanced area, however if you do choose to sit in this area you will have to continue to wear masks.

All Saints church, based on the High St, Golborne currently runs a Foodbank. it is available for anyone who wishes to receive food as a result of hardship. It is primarily accessed by referral: anyone applying for benefits who has to wait for them to be processed is eligible to receive food on up to five separate occasions. Usually the benefits agency would refer them to us, along with some health agencies. However, we would not turn anyone away who was in need and approached us without referral.

In some instances, we are able to deliver food to those who request it.

For further information, please ring: 01942 273851 or visit us at All Saints church.

We are open every Friday between 10.00-12.00pm.

Fr Gordon Abbs, February 2022.
