Thank you for your interest in nominating a local charity for High Street Methodist Church to support for the next two years. This support will commence in September 2026. You do not need to be a member of High Street in order to make an application and any charity, with a local impact, can be nominated although it will need to fit with the church’s mission statement which can be found below.
In order to be considered for support, an application form needs to be completed. This form will be reviewed by High Street’s World and Society Team, who will make a recommendation to the Church Council for the final decision regarding the successful applicant. The application form is designed for you to be able to tell us as much as you can about the charity and its work. You do not have to be heavily involved in the charity to be able to nominate it, but rather have a heart for the work that the charity carries out. It is preferable, but not essential, that you would be willing to help support a link between High Street and the charity you are nominating.
Please complete the form below and your response will be sent to Mark Prentice, the chair of the World and Society Team. Alternatively, paper copies of the application form can be picked up from the Church Office during opening hours or by speaking to one of the stewards on a Sunday morning.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Sunday 31 May 2026. Unfortunately, any applications received after this time will not be able to be considered.
We very much look forward to receiving your application. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with Mark Prentice.

High Street Methodist Church Vision & Strategy
As part of the Methodist ‘discipleship movement shaped for mission’,
OUR VISION is lives, relationships and communities in this world transformed by the love of God in Jesus Christ.
OUR STRATEGY for sharing in this work of God is to: Encounter God, Equip God’s people, Extend God’s Kingdom.
To this end, alongside our fellow Christians Christ calls us to know Him and to make Him known.
Therefore, when gathered together corporately or dispersed as individuals, we at all times and in all places by the grace of God seek to be the salt and light of the world: filled with the Spirit of God; following the Son of God; all for the glory of God.
Corporately we believe God has called us to be a welcoming, outward-reaching and diverse all-age community living and growing for the glory of God by making, nurturing, equipping and sending disciples of Jesus Christ who are continually being filled, transformed, led and empowered by God’s Spirit to actively share in God’s mission of love to the world as ambassadors of Christ.
Individually we believe God calls us each to seek God’s grace: to grow in our love for God and for our neighbour; to grow in the likeness of Christ our Saviour; to be diligent in helping those who are in any need; to be disciplined in personal prayer, Bible study and worship; and through the joyful offering of ourselves, our time and our money to play our full part as members of Christ’s body: The Church.
