What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities (including churches) to increase the value of donations by reclaiming basic rate tax already paid.
We can claim 25p for every £1 donated
Example: A donation of £100 becomes £125, at no extra cost to you
You just need to be a UK taxpayer and complete a Gift Aid Certificate
If your tax situation changes, please let us know so your declaration stays accurate.

Standing Order

Standing Orders can be set up using your banking app or online banking.
If you don’t use online banking:
Pick up a Standing Order form at the back of the church or from the Parish House (or HERE)
Complete it and hand it into your bank branch
