The following information is for our church members who wish to continue to contribute financially to the work of our church during this period of not meeting together. Whilst finances have not been our immediate priority, we recognise that it is wise and prudent to keep church funds in order for ongoing commitments, since we may be constrained by the current situation for some time.
To continue contributing your Freewill Offering (FWO), we suggest that you use one of the following 4 ways:
- Standing order
- Online bank transfer
- Personal cheque
- FWO envelope collection
Whichever method you use, it will help us greatly if you include your 3-digit FWO number as a reference.

Have you heard about easyfundraising yet?
It's an easy way to help raise money for 2nd Saintfield. If you already shop online with retailers such as Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis, Comet, Vodafone, eBay, Boden, Play.com and hundreds of others then we need you to sign up for free to raise money while you shop!
So how does it work?
You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to
http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/2ndpcs for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to the retailer, then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no extra cost to yourself.
How much can you raise?
Spend £100 with M&S online or Amazon and you raise £2.50 for us. £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on. There's over 2,000 retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase.
