John Truscott - www.john-truscott.co.uk

John has to charge realistic fees for his time to cover all his costs and to provide the equivalent of a salary.

But his charges are less than those in the secular market, partly because his own requirements are relatively modest and overheads low, and partly because many churches would not consider paying at more 'professional' rates. He works only in the Christian market.

For smaller and disadvantaged churches/missions for whom even these charges seem daunting, he has set up a subsidy fund from the gifts of individual supporters. He offers significant reductions for those for whom this would make a real difference. Do not be afraid to enquire about this and he can then discuss it with you.

If you would like to give to this fund, please send a cheque payable to John Truscott with a covering note that this is for the 'subsidy fund'. John is not a registered charity.
