DWG Finance

The Group’s income, from the proceeds from Parish fundraising events and from parishioners directly, amounted to around £11,500 per year in 2022 and 2023.

Receipts are reported through the year in the Parish Newsletter and broadly quarterly financial reports are discussed at each Group meeting.

Events

The Group’s fundraising events such as the Quiz Night, Barn Dance and Open Garden, provide a significant source of income, as well as a great way to socialise within and thus strengthen the Parish community. Suggestions by parishioners for fundraising events would be most warmly received.
