Info

unning costs of the parishes are mostly met through the regular giving of the faithful in the offertory collections and supplemented, on occasion, by legacy gifts. Parishes also undertake various fundraising activities, events, and apply to trusts for grants to support parish projects or capital building projects. The diversity of cultures and traditions within the parishes of the Archdiocese also drive a variety of approaches and responses to fundraising. The fundraising team support parishes with their fundraising in several ways. Primarily this takes place through planned giving and stewardship drives, which seek to encourage parishioners to share their financial and personal gifts. We also provide parish legacy leaflets, making it easy for parishioners to remember the Church in their Will. Every so often parishes need funds for projects and repairs, so our team provides Trust fundraising support, in order that parishes can apply for grants that require capital. In 2020 the fundraising team shifted their focus to helping parishes set up online giving and contactless donation devices, to enable them to respond to the new and changing ways in which parishioners give. At diocesan level, there are ministries and services, including statutory responsibilities, which are supported through the contributions made by the parishes through their levies. Other ministries, such as the training of priests and the care of retired and sick clergy, are also supported through fundraising efforts, including appeals to parishioners via direct mail or announcements at Mass accompanied by Gift Aid envelopes. Great care is taken to administer legacy gifts received by the charity, to ensure executors and family are treated compassionately, professionally and with dignity and care. A few years ago, the Archdiocese undertook fundraising for the Clergy Support Campaign, with thousands of individuals committed to regular donations over 4 years. The fundraising team continue to steward these supporters, providing them with regular updates and information on how they might continue their support, should they wish to do so. The Trustees have systems in place to monitor and respond to due diligence issues surrounding gifts received by the charity. The Trustees also have systems in place to monitor and respond to any complaints received. We are pleased to say that in 2020, the Archdiocese of Southwark received no complaints about fundraising and no complaints were received by the Fundraising Regulator about the Charity. Fundraising is an integral part of supporting the life and mission of the Church, but it is a means to an end, and that is in building up God’s Kingdom through service to God’s people. The Archdiocese of Southwark is committed to exhibiting the best fundraising practices in all its activities, showing respect for people first and foremost, and ensuring donated funds are used accountably and responsibly.

IMPACT REPORT Fr John Howard Fr Dermott O’Gorman FUNDRAISING FOR VOCATIONS Priesthood is essential to the life of the Church. In the Archdiocese we have been blessed to welcome several men answering the call to serve; choosing to dedicate their lives to Christ and to the Church. In 2020 Southwark welcomed 5 new priests and 3 deacons, all of whom have been supported through up to six years of formation by the Diocese. Ecclesiastical education costs £30k per candidate per annum and we are grateful for each donation to the Priests’ Training Fund. The Fund means that those who aspire to bring God’s love and healing to this world through ordination can receive instruction over a period of 5-6 years. Investing in the training of our priests and deacons in an investment in the future of our Church. Fr Giovanni Prandini http://www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/ vocations.htm Fr Peter Sebastian Priest Training Fund 2021 Your gift will support the formation of men for the Roman Catholic Priesthood and Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Southwark. Thank you for your generosity. 23
