Charitable Giving to the Church and Community

Thank you for your generous giving. Your generosity enables the day to day running of our two ancient churches, St James’, Southwick and St Nicholas’, Boarhunt.

Southwick and Boarhunt Churches have also determined to look beyond our own needs to needs of the wider global, national and local communities.

Our giving to charities in these communities is generously matched, pound for pound, by the Southwick Estate’s Church and Community Trust, (generously set up by the late Robin Thistlethwayte) thus doubling the amount we are able to give to our carefully chosen charities
