Giving

Many people at St Barnabas give generously of their time and money to support the work of the church.

Of course we have bills to pay; our current expenses, including the cost of running our building and our freewill offering to the Diocese of York (which funds our vicar, amongst other things), are around £68k a year (that's £5,700 a month or £1,300 a week).   Whilst some of this comes from investments and rental income, most comes from the generous donations of our members.   But this is not the primary reason we give financially; we give as part of our worship of God and a desire to support others.

For those who want to give, there is an opportunity to do so during our Sunday services, during the week via our office or online.

Payroll Giving.  Many employers offer Payroll Giving which allows you to give directly to St Barnabas Church from your salary before tax is deducted. This means if you give £100 per month and are a basic rate taxpayer, the gift will only cost you £80 from your net pay. If you pay a higher rate of tax, £100 a month will only cost you £60 from your net pay. To find out if your employer offers Payroll Giving, contact your HR office.

Charitable Aid Agencies. You may wish to give to St Barnabas via a charitable aid agency such as Stewardship, JustGiving, CAF, Charities Trust, or Charitable Giving. These agencies are useful for those who give to multiple charities and wish to have their giving recorded in one place or for those who wish to give anonymously to St Barnabas.

Regular Giving. If you wish to give regularly, please download our Standing Order form.

If you are a UK taxpayer and eligible to Gift Aid your donation, please consider downloading and returning the declaration form. This will increase your gift by 25p for every £1 given at no extra cost to you or us.

St Barnabas Church, Swanland, like all Churches, relies on regular donations. Everything we do is made possible by your giving. Thank You.
