The Friends principal work for our Church is in the organisation and manning of a
rota of people for Church Watch. The Friends arrange a daily watch to provide
everyone, members of the congregation and visitors alike, with the opportunity to enjoy
the peaceful interior of the church.
The Friends also organise social events and other fund-raising activities, the main
social event being the garden party. The Friends recently provided a public address and
hearing-aid loop system for the Church Hall and upper meeting room and make regular gifts
to maintain and enhance the church furnishings.
The annual King Charles Lecture is sponsored by the Friends of King Charles Church and
is on a subject related to the life and times of King Charles the First.
The King Charles Fellowship
The Fellowship is a flourishing group of some 50 members who meet regularly to listen
to a marvellous variety of speakers who entertain, delight and instruct us.
Events also include an outing, garden party and Christmas party.
The Guild of Service
The Guild comprises a loyal and dedicated band of volunteers who ensure that the church
is cleaned on a weekly basis, supporting and enhancing the work of contract cleaners
employed for the church and hall.
A rota of members of the congregation also ensures that the church is always enhanced
with beautiful flower arrangements.
Social Committee
The Social Committee provides at least one social event each quarter, such as the
Harvest Supper, quiz nights etc.

This group organised through the church membership raises funds for the Mission through
Coffee Mornings and Sales and arranges visits to related sites.
