Every Sunday morning service there are two collections. The plate is to support the work of this chaplaincy but the bag is for charitable giving. A committee formed from members of the congregation decides how to distribute these funds and welcomes ideas from the entire congregation. Our policy is to support a wide range of charities with special emphasis on local needs or those in which members of the congregation have a personal interest.
If you would like to make a contribution to the charitable giving fund the account is ABN-AMRO 57-97-02-960 {in the name of ('t.n.v.') Holy Trinity Church in ('te') Utrecht mentioning, your name (unless you wish to remain anomymous) and if appropriate, a specific cause in the description ('omschrijving')}.
