Parish Giving Scheme

parish giving scheme

The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is one of the easiest and most helpful ways to support our church family. It allows you to give regularly by Direct Debit — or make a one-off gift — helping us plan ahead with confidence while keeping things simple for you. If you wish to give, please follow this link or see below for other methods of donating!

There is absolutely no obligation to give — please only give if you want to and are able to.

How It Works

1. Choose how you’d like to give
You can set up a regular monthly, quarterly, or annual gift, or make a one-off donation whenever you wish.
Giving is entirely voluntary and any amount, large or small, is appreciated.

2. PGS collects your gift securely
Your donation is taken safely by Direct Debit on the 1st of the month (for regular giving) or once immediately (for one-off gifts).

3. Gift Aid is handled automatically
If you’re a UK taxpayer, PGS will claim Gift Aid on your behalf and send it straight to us — increasing the value of your gift at no extra cost.

4. The church receives everything promptly
We receive your donation — plus any Gift Aid — quickly, helping us keep our ministry, building, and community work running well.

Why People Love Using PGS

For You

  • Give only if and when you choose to

  • Set up regular giving or make a one-off gift

  • Simple, secure, and easy to manage

  • Change or cancel your regular gift at any time

  • Your giving continues even when you can’t be at church

  • Optional annual inflation increase to keep your giving’s value steady

For Our Church

  • Reliable income that helps us plan ahead

  • Much less admin for our volunteers and treasurer

  • Automatic Gift Aid means more support with no extra paperwork

  • Helps us look after our building, serve the community, and grow our ministry

A Small Option That Makes a Big Difference

When signing up for regular giving, you can choose an optional inflation-linked increase each year. It quietly keeps your gift in line with rising costs — but it’s entirely up to you, and you can switch it off whenever you like.

How to Join or Make a One-Off Gift

You can give through the Parish Giving Scheme online by following this link, by phone, or by using a paper form.
There is also a PGS QR code displayed on the church notice board, making it easy to give straight from your smartphone while you’re in the building.

And remember — there is no pressure or expectation to give. If you choose to support the church in this way, we are deeply grateful.

If you’d like help signing up, our treasurer or one of the church wardens will be glad to assist! You can also click here to read frequently asked questions or more information.
