St Giles Church 100 Club was initiated by village resident Helen Anderson in 1983 and it has continued with a varying membership (from 70 in 1995 to 48 in 2025). The 100 Club has raised at least £450 every year for church funds, which has been used towards the actual running expenses of St Giles i.e. insurance, lighting, heating, and other routine outgoings including the annual Parish Share which has to be paid to the Oxford Diocese (approx. £5,500 per year).
Friends of St Giles is a new group which has been specially set up to raise funds for the major repairs needed for the church roof so this group is not currently able to assist in raising funds for the actual annual maintenance costs. Stonevale Concerts at St Giles contribute to Friends of St Giles.
Because there have been quite a few changes in Great Coxwell over the last 40 years, it has now been agreed by the St Giles Church Council that the 100 Club is to be discontinued and for other ways of raising funds to be found – previously it has been coffee mornings, plant sales etc. and a summer fete but perhaps a driveway - or boot-sale could be initiated or more updated ways of raising funds on a regular basis found in order to help meet the costs of maintaining our beautiful and historic church. If you have any ideas, please let the PCC (Parochial Church Council) know.
The PCC may be contacted via any church member or by email to Sue Homersham, our Senior Benefice Warden ([email protected])
