Huge Thanks from Cumbernauld Old (1)

Cumbernauld Old Parish Church is delighted to announce that the excellent sum of £1916.30 was raised in the parish during the recent annual door-to-door collection for Christian Aid Week. Gift Aid declarations were received for an astonishing £947.49 of this total.

We are also delighted to report that a further £350 was donated for the work of Christian Aid at the 1st Cumbernauld Boys’ Brigade Annual Display. A huge “well done”, thanks and congratulations to everyone involved.

Christian Aid Week – it’s good news!

Cumbernauld Old Parish Church is delighted to announce that the total collected from this year’s Christian Aid Week door-to-door collection in the parish was £2595.01 and that the Boys’ Brigade Display raised another £300 for Christian Aid. This is a marvellous total and is £700 more than was collected last year!

Furthermore, from that total, the donations made under Gift Aid amounted to £1274, meaning Christian Aid can recover the tax already paid on them, adding a further 20% or so. Thanks to everyone who completed the Gift Aid form on their red envelope.
