Making a donation to St Andrew’s Church either as a one-off or a regular gift
EASY & SECURE GIVING
One of the really important ways that each of us lives our faith and participates in the mission of the Church, is through the act of financial giving. Regular giving can be a prayerful expression of faith in action, and it is vital to sustain our church, helping us to plan for the future.
We are members of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) which provides the simplest and most secure way for everyone to give to our church. By making a gift through PGS, they manage all the admin on our behalf, which makes a big difference to the church staff and volunteers.
In fact, if you already give regularly through a Standing Order, please consider moving across to PGS. It’s quite straight forward to make the change (set up a new gift with PGS and then you just cancel the standing order with your bank once the new payment is confirmed) and you’ll be lightening the load of our church team!
When you set up a regular gift by Direct Debit with PGS, you can choose the frequency and amount of your gift and opt in to Gift Aid, if you are eligible. Through Gift Aid, we receive an extra 25p for every pound you give which makes a significant impact across the year.
There’s also an option for you to increase your gift annually, with the peace of mind that you can adjust your gift at any time. One of the most important aspects of our choice to partner PGS to process gifts on behalf of this church, is that the giver always remains in control.
The quickest and easiest way to set up and manage your regular gift is online, through the PGS website: parishgiving.org.uk.
It is also possible to make a one-off gift online, using a debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
To set up a regular or one-off gift online, scan the QR code (this can be viewed below by clicking on 'download') or visit parishgiving.org.uk, find your church using the easy search tool (our parish code is 06 06 06 068), and follow a few simple steps to set up your gift securely.
If you’re not connected to the internet, don’t worry. You can set up your regular gift by phoning the PGS team on 0333 002 1271, Monday to Friday, 9-5, or by completing a paper gift form.
