St Nicholas Parish 100 Club
In 2010 a community of Orthodox Christians comprising of barely 60 people was able to buy and restore a dilapidated church, which required taking out a repayable loan and raising a further fund of £300,000 needed for renovations. This was possible by the mercy of God and through tireless fundraising by the community which generated some extremely generous donations from our friends and supporters.
Although we have now managed to pay back our £250,000 building loan, we are in constant need to raise funds for ongoing maintenance. We receive no financial help from any agency - religious or secular - at home or abroad. We have therefore decided to launch our own parish 100 Club as part of our on-going fundraising efforts.
Joining the Club gives you a chance to make a valuable donation to our church and to win cash prizes at the same time. We hope that many of our parishioners and friends will support this venture and thereby ensure its success. We look forward to welcoming you to the Club and to you becoming one of our winners.

FAQs
Q: How does the Club benefit the church?
A: 50% of the subscription money goes to the church each year and 50% is paid out annually in prizes. This means that if 100 members subscribe, £600 will go to the church and £600 will go out in prizes. The more members there are, the bigger the prizes and the more money will go to the church.
