More information about the Parish Giving Scheme

We have many ways of supporting the church financially. We are truly thankful to all those who give generously to the church to support its mission and maintain its buildings. The Parish Giving Scheme is the preferred way of giving to the church.

How does the Parish Giving Scheme work? The Parish Giving Scheme has been set up by the Church of England nationally to help parishes manage regular donations effectively and efficiently. The whole of a donation comes to the donor’s parish, so please do be reassured that the gift you make to either church cannot be used elsewhere.

Participation in the Scheme means that the churches can be assured of a regular, tax-efficient source of income which is secure, confidential and easy to use. Other advantages of the PGS include:

Reducing the administrative burden for our Treasurers
Improving cashflow because Gift Aid is calculated monthly
Donations can be made on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

How do I change to the Parish Giving Scheme?

Changing to the Parish Giving Scheme is a very simple process. You can find out just how straightforward it is by going to the PGS website at https://www.parishgiving.org.uk/home/

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect at any of our services.

Where and When

We meet at three locations, throughout the month. For your first visit, if you arrive 10-15 minutes before the service starts you will be greeted by a Sidesperson or someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the main service on a Sunday morning unless it is Cafe Church in which case we start with a light breakfast. This provides an opportunity for you to get to know people within the church community.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access to both churches, a sound loop for anyone who needs it and disabled parking. Large print format service sheets are always available for those that need them - just ask as you come in. If you need information on any of these aspects do get in touch.

All are welcome

Activities for children are available at the majority of our services. In terms of church services, there is something for everyone, whether it be traditional, contemporary or reflective.
