Giving

We have an active fundraising group who mount events to raise money to support both the mission and the fabric of the church. Recent initiatives have included a murder mystery afternoon, a plant sale and a garden party.

Transform Trade

The church is a Fairtrade church. All tea and coffee served by church-related organisations is fairly traded. The church supports Transform Trade through a coffee morning on the second Saturday morning of the month, 10am - 12 noon, when fairly traded products are available to buy. Transform Trade is a Christian response to poverty amongst people of all faiths in developing countries. It seeks to ensure that vulnerable workers benefit directly from their work rather than being exploited by large global companies.

Commitment for Life

The Church supports Commitment for Life, the World Development programme of the United Reformed Church, which encourages churches to take action, pray and give, for people across the world. It works in partnership with Christian Aid and the World Development Movement, raising more half a million pounds a year from contributing churches. Hassocks particularly supports work in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
