THE BEESTON REGIS CHARITIES OF
EDMUND HOOKE AND UNKNOWN DONOR
As we get older, we sometimes need some physical aid to help us get around or make life a little easier but perhaps we cannot afford it and so we soldier on as best we can.
This is, in part, why the Beeston Regis Charities of Edmund Hooke and the Unknown Donor started over 300 years ago. They were set up to help people who live in the Parish of Beeston Regis, or that part of Sheringham that once was part of the Ancient Parish, (which includes Cliff Road, Priory Road, The Avenue, St Austin’s Grove, Nelson Road, Lawson Way and Beeston Common).
If you are in need of help by reason of financial hardship, age, ill-health or disability, these charities may be able to help by providing grants, items and services.
If there is something you, or your family living with you, really need but cannot afford, then please ask if the charity can help.
Grants may be made for a variety of reasons such as help with the cost of repairing or renewing essential household equipment, unexpected expenses associated with illness or bereavement and the like.
Unfortunately, unless due to sudden and unforeseen problems, the Trustees are not able to make grants for general debts such as Council tax or utility bills.
Please let us know if you are in need of help. All enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

ALL SAINT’S, BEESTON REGIS – FINANCES
A message from the Treasurer of Beeston Regis
“In the ‘Quintet News’ for the past two or three months we have all been asked to pray “For an increase in the financial giving to our Benefice churches”.
We appreciate that, at the moment, times are tough for many people, especially with the abolition of the winter fuel allowance but if you are able to review the amount you contribute to our Church on a regular basis it would be much appreciated
In the past we have had an annual “Gift Week” to coincide with our patronal festival – All Saints Day – at the end of the month but this year, if possible, we would encourage as many friends as possible to help in one of four ways--
- To make a BACS payment direct into the Church Bank account: Beeston Regis PCC, Sort Code: 20-03-26
Account Number: 10162116 - To set up a monthly or weekly Standing Order with details as above.
- To fill in and deposit one of the “Gift Aid” envelopes which are in the Church pews.
- To put a donation in the collection plate or tap the card machine.
Thank you for reading this.”
If you are inspired by this article and would like to support one of the other churches in the Benefice, then please speak to the Treasurers – Michael Freeman for the Runtons or Angla Gant for Gresham and Aylmerton – who will be able to provide you with the relevant bank details!!
