Home insurance ... Trust 130 Case Studies

What would your church do with £130?

We will donate £130 to an Anglican church or cathedral of your choice when you take out a new home insurance policy with us. (Ts&Cs apply).

£130 may not seem like a lot of money, but a little help can go a long way.

Here are some examples of how churches are using their donations.

 

A little help with supporting the community

St Albans, West Leigh: Funded welcome packs for new residents.

St Pancras Church, Pennycross: Provided food hampers to 50 families during holidays.

St Mary’s Church, Apsley End: Offers a Food Bank and a warm place for locals.

Holy Trinity Church, Hinckley: Supports outreach to children and youth.

St Mary Magdalene Church, Stilton: Funds new Vicar’s community support.

St Peter, Piton PCC: Towards tidying up the area around the Garden of Remembrance in the churchyard.

"Many thanks!  What a lovely surprise. This fund will go towards the church hospitality budget which is used regularly to provide tea and coffee and biscuits for church services, weekly groups, events, weekly food bank and community meetings."

St Matthews Church, Bayswater

A little help with maintenance

St Mary’s Church, Wheatley: Refurbishing the church.

All Saints, Foots Cray: Repairing 14th-century Lady Chapel.

St Michaels and All Angels Church: Maintains historic building.

St Twrog’s Church, Llanddarog: Funds Victorian building renovation.

St Mary’s Church, Suffolk: Received £780 to help maintain their Grade II* listed church.

 

"Thank you for your email and donation. It is much appreciated. We are in the throes of refurbishing the church and every donation is extremely welcome!" 

St Mary's Church, Wheatley

A little help with inclusivity

St Peter’s, Addingham: Improved disabled access.

St Michael’s, St Albans: Installed multi-directional microphone.

All Saints Church: Secured new sound equipment.

Manchester Cathedral: Developing our new website and the digitisation of the cathedral.

 

“We have used the donation we received to install a multi-directional microphone on our lectern… it has greatly improved the audibility of anything read from the lectern as it picks up the sound regardless of exactly where the person is standing.”

St Michael’s, St Albans

A little help with hosting facilities

St Catherine’s Church, Burbage: £910 towards a refurbished kitchen for various community groups.

St John the Baptist, Hartwell: Hosts coffee mornings, soup lunches, and youth activities.

St Dunstans Church: Purchased insulated jugs and kettles for events.

“We are extremely grateful for this donation. This money will help us to pay our increased electricity bill for a very specific purpose. One of our members serves our community through a weekly Tea, Cake and Chatter session on Tuesday afternoons in the church. We recently enlarged our gathering space at the back of the church, and it has proved very popular especially for those who live alone.”

St Peter’s Church in Pitton

A little help with core costs

St Mary’s Parish, Comber: Funds church tower and hall renovations.

St Mary Magdalene, Cowden: Funds heating oil for winter.

St Mary’s Church, Kirkby Fleetham: Covers electrical costs for the small congregation.

St John’s with St Andrew’s, Waterloo: Framed historic churchyard print.

St. Andrew’s, Clayhidon: Installed under-pew heating to reduce energy costs.

"It is very gratefully received. This money will be used for survival... This will cover several months of electrical costs... Thank you once again."
