Christians are encouraged to be generous in every aspect of their lives. It is not only about giving money but offering hospitality, giving time and using our skills – in our churches, and also in our homes, workplaces and communities. Giving is the outworking of faith.
If you would like to give to the work of St Margaret’s Church then you can do so in a number of ways:
Regular Giving
We are so thankful for the many church members who give in a planned way. Regular donations to St Margaret’s are administered for us through the Parish Giving Scheme, a national Church of England initiative which enables donations to be made by Direct Debit. Involvement in the scheme means that Gift Aid can be recovered more easily, so your gift can have a greater impact more quickly. Should you wish to, the scheme also offers the option to automatically increase your giving in line with inflation each year. Being part of this scheme also reduces the administrative burden on our finance volunteers within the church.
You can set this up online here using Parish Code: 050605174
or to set up a new donation over the phone please call 0333 002 1271. You can read more about the scheme here
You will need the following information about our church in order to set up your donation over the phone:
