Make a Donation

We warmly welcome donations towards the running and upkeep of our Church so we can continue to share the Gospel in faith, hope and love.

​

One-off donations can be made using our online donation portal, a QR code to which is also given below. Should you wish to donate regularly to the Church, you can either set up a standing order (which is our preferred method) or request weekly giving envelopes to donate cash. To set up any of these donation options, please contact church and leave a message FAO Margaret Hughes, PCC Treasurer.

 

A message from our Gift Aid Secretary

 

"Do you pay more Personal Income Tax than a quarter of what you donate to church?

​

"Why not let church reduce the tax paid by you at no cost to you?

​

Sound good? Then read on…"

 

The only Government support for our church comes from tax relief on your donations (together with a temporary Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme for anonymous cash donations of £30 or less, limited to £2,000 claim for church per tax year). As an example, a £100 donation means the church can claim £25 extra back on your donation from HMRC – so long as you have/will have paid £25 in tax in the Tax Year donation given.

​

My role as Gift Aid Secretary, is to ensure an accurate data trail of your donations is kept, to enable me to claim 25% refund on all your donations from HM Revenue and Customs on a quarterly basis. To enable this, as a taxpayer, I need you to complete a ‘one-off donation’ envelope with your gift available in church, or – preferably – as a regular donor (be that standing order or regular giving envelope), complete a Gift Aid Declaration form. 

The Gift Aid Declaration form can be found here. Keep one half for you as a record and return the other to me care of church. If at any point in the future, you no longer pay sufficient tax to cover a quarter of your donations (the level of relief claimed by me), then just let me know.

​

For regular donors, I will email you a report of the claim made each tax year, for your records.

If you require any more information at any time, just contact me at the email address below.
