Ways to Give

Managing the finances of a church is not that different to managing our own finances at home, just on a rather different scale. ​ We have regular bills to pay such as utilities and insurance, materials to buy, buildings to maintain and grounds to care for. Our church building has seen many years go by and sometimes can show its age; hopefully, leaky roofs will not be a concern for some years after the recent repairs but we still need to be prepared for other maintenance needs and yes, rainy days. ​

In order to keep our church at the centre of village life, with a safe, secure building and a warm welcoming community that supports village life and the wider church, we need to maintain a regular income to ensure we can pay the bills, fix and enhance our church building and prepare for any future leaks. That means relying on the generosity of people from our congregations, village communities and often further afield, to give what they can, when they can. ​

There are a number of ways to give financial support to our church, to suit you and your circumstances. If you are a UK tax payer you can increase the amount you give by using a recognised gift aid scheme. This allows us to reclaim an extra 25% of the money you give from HM Revenue and Customs, without you doing anything. ​

We welcome regular planned giving, as this allows us to budget for the longer term, knowing how much income we are likely to receive over the year.
