Giving and Funding Advice PDF Print E-mail

Churches in the Oxford Diocese can gain advice on giving and funding from the Christian Giving and Funding Adviser, Robin Brunner-Ellis. 

The Adviser’s support for your church is resourced through your Parish Share and covers everything from how you can develop a project vision and business case, to sourcing potential funding and implementing a fund-raising campaign.  These pages provide web-based support, developing over coming months.

Reflecting the ethos of Sharing Life – the diocesan mission – the Adviser shares information about good practice, funding and lessons learned by churches in the Oxford Diocese and further afield. He works with churches starting out or renewing their fundraising activities.
