Donating to Parish Expenses - Day to day running

PARISH EXPENSES

The cost of day-to-day running of the church is over £300 per day. Energy costs last year came to nearly £15,000 and insurance to nearly £6,000. We make a significant contribution to the “common fund” which provides for the paid clergy of Exeter. We also give financial support to a variety of charities.

If you would like to make a regular contribution to the running of the church, we recommend the Parish Giving Scheme, which allows you to set up a direct debit, and is paid, with Gift Aid, where applicable, to the parish directly. This makes giving easy, both for you and administratively for the church. An optional annual inflation-linked upgrade of your giving is available if you wish.

If you wish to make a one-off contribution, please choose one of the following options:

If you are visiting the church, please use the card reader for card donations or a YELLOW gift envelope for cash or cheque.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you may be able to make a Gift Aid declaration, and the Government will give us an extra 25% on your donation, at no cost to you. [If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you actually get a tax benefit.]
