Restoration Appeal

This fund is a National Trust tax-deductible Restoration Appeal. It is a project that conforms to the Trust’s objectives of preserving components of Australia’s heritage.
St Matthews is using this fund to provide tax-deductible giving towards the restoration of the church's sandstone exteriors, which have weathered as a result of age and Manly's salty air. Urgent repairs were done last year due to pieces of the sandstone falling, but there remain many more areas that need attention. FUNDRAISING GOAL: $50,000

To receive your tax-deductible receipt you must also inform the accountant.
