Giving to Other Organisations
St Mary's Church Marlborough aims to “tithe” its normal income on an annual basis. The tithe arising from larger legacies (which may need to be held in reserve for special projects) is normally be given to missionary work in the year it is spent rather than the year it is received.

The recommendations of the Mission Committee goes to the PCC for approval before money is sent out in the autumn. For 2008, the gifts will be made as follows:
