Charities We Support

Charities We Support

St Mark’s follows the biblical practice of tithing: for every £100 given to the Church, we give away £10 to a variety of charities. These are nominated by members of the congregation and elected by our Church Committee.
They are a mixture of local, national and international charities.

We are currently supporting:

Merton Faith in Action

Wimbledon Guild

Pearls of Africa Special Needs Centre

Christian Aid

Bishop Gilpin School

Our link diocese of Bergen in Norway

Our link diocese of Matabeleland in Zimbabwe

Swinfen Charitable Trust

Our link diocese of Jerusalem

Inclusive Church

Food Bank

We support the Dons Local Action Group and Food Bank and local people who are in need. A wicker basket is located at the back of church in the Narthex where donations of food can be put.

As well as financial giving, we also pray for these charities within our services and members of our congregation act as volunteers.
