Gas & Electricity – new fixed contract for church and hall
We have been insulated from large rises over the last 2 years but our fixed contract
finishes on 19th December. As a PCC we have agreed a new fixed contract for our
gas & electricity. The additional total cost per year will £7552 more than we are
currently paying. This is a significant increase and we do not want this to have a
negative impact on the current ministry of All Saints Childwall.
All members of the PCC that met on Monday night agreed that they would give an additional
amount of £50. If 150 individuals or families joined us in this initiative, we would cover the
cost of the new contract. Please prayerfully consider if you can join us and give an additional
amount by the end of January 2024. Any amount towards the increased cost of our energy
bill will obviously be very welcome. If you are a tax payer we are able to claim the tax back
which will increase the value of your gift.
Thank you very much – PCC of All Saints Childwall
