TOKEN HOLDER BENEFITS

​

- A 'Tea, Coffee/Champagne & Cake Afternoon' with Mother Cherry (with a guided tour of the wildscaped Saint Mark's Church) in October/November 2021 (Date TBA).

 

- A 90 minute zoom call Q&A from the church itself with me, Alana, taking you on a guided tour and explaining the decisions and reasons.  The call will be rounded up by taking questions from Token Holders (offering bespoke advice) on how they can wildscape their own Exterior & Interior spaces.

 

- Have your signed token featured on the 'Thank You Board'...  Token Holders can post a paper copy of their Token to the church (signed in their own hand) to go on the blue notice board for a year in the ‘Fruits of the Forest Spot’.

 

- If you have bought 5 token or more, in September 2021, you will receive your own seeds (that have been harvested from the wildscaped church plants themselves) that have been blessed in a special ceremony by Mother Cherry, before being posted to you.

​

A UNIQUE - NEVER SEEN BEFORE - BUYER/SELLER TOKEN COMMUNITY

​

If you have bought a Token (perhaps because you would like to help wildlife by seeing Saint Mark's wildscaped, even if you aren't local to Westcliff On Sea) but now would like to see if a local Parishioner (who missed out) would like a Token to commemorate the occasion, you can announce that you would like to sell your Token in a 'Buyer/Seller Token Newsletter', to go out to Saint Mark's Parishioners, to see if one of them would like to buy your Token from you.

​

That way, you can donate your newly received £10 to a local wildlife cause, safe in the knowledge that Saint Mark's Church stands (thanks to your initial generosity) as an example to be echoed by others for years to come: inspiring more wildlife habitat & compassion, nationwide.
