Our finances continue to rely upon the generosity of parishioners and friends, either by way of occasional donations or by Planned Giving, Planned Giving can be made by envelopes, standing order through your bank, or a combination of both arrangements.
Our Planned Giving Officer is Dilys Jeffrey, who is retiring at Easter. I am gradually taking over her role, and have introduced new accounting software which caters for monitoring Planned Giving. Please contact me from the Contacts page.
You can download both a Standing Order Form and a Gift Aid Form here. Gift Aid provides a valuable source of extra income to us, at no extra cost to you! We are able to recover your Income Tax at 28% of your gift.
Higher rate taxpayers should include all Gift Aided payments on their tax returns in order to take advantage of increasing the threshold when their higher rate of tax kicks in.
