Following the preliminary results published in the December magazine, here is an update with the final result.

We received 138 responses, including 32 new donors. This gave a promised increase of giving for a full year totalling £20,200, plus one off donations totalling over £500. This represents an increase of giving in excess of 30%. With the tax recovery we can expect to make, the full year increase we can expect to be over £24,060.

Hopefully we can now balance our budget for 2002 and hope to repay to the diocese some of the money we held back from our quota in 2001.

I think I can safely say that Trio 2001 was a successful exercise. Well done!
