THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASICAL PARISH OF HIGHFIELD, SOUTHAMPTON 

The church has significant ministries to children, young people and students, and a growing ministry to older people. 10% of the income of the church is given away to mission and social action projects in the UK and overseas. Until recently, the church involved its members and the local community in sponsorship over an extended period of a small rural community in Kenya; this has now ended.
