St Agatha's Community Kickstart Fund

St Agatha’s Community Kickstart Fund exists to help small groups with church connections. We give grants, usually to a maximum of around £500 to enable people to meet the costs of setting up initiatives.

This might include:

• Equipment for a playgroup
• Refurbishing of a kitchen for an elders’ group.

Details of how to apply are available from Julia Alder at Church House, 95, Effingham Street, Rotherham, S65 1Bl , telephone 01709 309133

The Vicars Relief Fund

The Vicar’s Relief Fund gives grants from money given annually to the Diocese by the St Martin-in-the-Fields Radio 4 Appeal. We aim to help people with small grants to meet immediate needs where it is difficult to get help elsewhere. We have a normal maximum of £150 and operate a system that aims to pay out amounts with a minimum of delay.

Awards are made to individuals through parish clergy, church workers and other agencies.

Forms are available from Julia Alder at Church House, 95 Effingham Street, Rotherham S65 1BL. They can be faxed to you if you call us on 01709 309133 or e-mail at Julia.alder@sheffield.anglican.org

Please note that this fund is relatively small and disbursed on a first-come-first-served basis
