GIVING TO YOUR CHURCH
Leaving a legacy
Legacies are a lifeline for our churches. Each year around 5,000 people leave a gift in their will to a Church of England parish. In total, parishes receive around £50 million in legacy gifts each year – gifts to finance mission projects, maintain beautiful church buildings and grow faithful communities.
For many people, leaving a gift in their will is a final opportunity to make a lasting gift to God. It is also a way to make a lasting difference to the future of their church and community. The Church of England has produce a helpful leaflet which will help you explore how you can make provision in your will for a legacy to the Church.

Gift Aid
We can reclaim 25% of your gifts and donations from the government. This comes from the tax you pay on your income and which we can claim back to support the church. This costs you nothing. Please use the gift aid form found below. Every little extra bit helps out: especially if it comes from your taxes.

Standing Order
With this in mind, we ask every member of the church family to consider how much he or she is prepared to give to the work of the church's ministry - a weekly or monthly sum: we ask you to pledge this sum as a financial commitment, since it gives our parishes more certainty in planning their financial outlays. Please see the document below for more information.
