ST MARGARET'S CHURCH BUILDING FUNDRAISING APPEAL

UPDATE!

St Margaret’s Church, Horsmonden

 October 2025 

Dear Friend,

                                                      An Opportunity to be Part of History 

If you have visited St Margaret’s over the last year, you will have seen the wonderful new kitchen and toilet facilities at the Church. If you have visited more recently, you will also have seen the lovely new oak fencing at the entrance to the churchyard. But if you haven’t yet seen these significant improvements to the Church that are already being enjoyed, and will continue to be appreciated by many future generations, then please come and look at the transformation! 

We have already paid nearly £400,000 for the new facilities, raised by grant applications, generous donors, and fundraising. But at the end of this year we shall have to pay a final £8,000, which we need to raise. 

The fencing has cost just over £5,000, and although we have already received donations of £3,000 in memory of a much-loved member of the community, we still need a further £2,000. 

So, in all, we need to raise £10,000 by the end of this year. Could you help us hit this target? 

If you would like, and are able, to be part of helping 700 year old St Margaret’s be there for centuries to come, we shall be most grateful for whatever you feel able to give. 

You can donate directly to our bank account or by cash or cheque to Steve Jones, our Treasurer (details of both below). 

If you are a UK taxpayer, we can boost your donation by a further 25% by claiming Gift Aid, so if you are eligible but haven’t already completed a Gift Aid declaration, please consider doing so, using the form here. This should be returned to Janet Norton, our Gift Aid secretary (details below) or to Steve.

With our thanks for your support for our beautiful church.
