General Background Information The Friends of All Saints Church is registered as a charity with very simple objectives: to maintain, repair, restore, preserve, improve, beautify and reconstruct, for the benefit of the public, the fabric of the Church, its monuments, fixtures, fittings, furniture, stained glass, ornaments and other chattels, and its churchyard. Since 1994, The Friends has undertaken a number of activities to provide funding towards several projects. These have included the gas-fired central heating, bells restoration, electrical winding of the clock, the provision of a vestry and draught excluding doors to the West Tower. The Friends, administered by an elected committee, continues to spearhead fund raising and social events. Membership of The Friends is open to anyone interested in the objects of the society and who has paid an annual member's subscription of at least £5. All Friends members - who pay Income Tax - should sign a declaration form to enable the tax to be reclaimed on their contribution, which increases the gift by some 28%. Members receive informative Newsletters which give updates on the progress of projects and details of fund raising events to support and enjoy. A very wide variety of events is planned to ensure that all members find something of interest. Becoming a member is very simple and your support will be much appreciated. Telephone the Membership Secretary, on (01580) 892 380 for further information or assistance. Friends of All Saints Church - A fund raising body which helps finance projects of maintenance and improvement to All Saints Parish Church Staplehurst. It aims to involve members of the community through the promotion of a varied programme of events. Back to Top Bell Lane Recycling Centre Official adoptee: Friends of All Saints We have, for some years, been the official adoptee for the above site. Maidstone Borough Council who has run this “adopt a site” scheme discontinued this, in it's present form, at the end of March 2011. Therefore, we are no longer the people to contact. This is due to the increased household collections for recycling and other new proposals which are soon to be commenced. A new scheme is proposed for later this year but, full details have yet to be received. Ron Dear Treasurer to the Friends of All Saints. Back to Top
