HALO CLUB
Helping to keep your local churches open
All churches are funded entirely through donations and fundraising.
To keep St Nicholas’ and St Giles’ churches open, we need to raise around £50,000 per year to cover bills, insurance, staff and day-to-day expenses. And that’s before we undertake any repairs to the fabric of the buildings.
This Prize Draw initiative is to help St Nicholas’ Church in Great Hormead and St Giles’ Church in Wyddial, cover some £1,500 of those routine costs if 100 tickets are sold. The Prize Draw is run by Hormead with Wyddial Parochial Church Council (PCC).
These are your local churches, and you are welcome to join us for worship or visit any time. All help and support you can give to keep our churches going is greatly appreciated. We also have a regular giving scheme and hold fundraising events through the year. Visit our website for details: www.quintetchurches.com/giving
We hope that you’ll consider participating in the
HALO CLUB 2026 Prize Draw.
