Giving
The PCC of St John's is registered as a charity (click here for details) and relies on the generosity of its Church Family members for most of its income. This is how we are able to resource our mission and ministry, becoming more and more like the church of our vision.
There are several ways people can give financially to the Church: through occasional gifts or at services or regularly through some form of planned giving, for instance through a standing order from the bank.
Planned giving has two main advantages. First, it allows the church to plan ahead with much more certainty. Second, tax payers are able to make a Gift Aid declaration, enabling the Church to recover the standard rate of income tax on each donation. Currently this means that the Church receives an extra £28 for every £100 donated.
If you would like to become a member of the Planned Giving Scheme or indeed, to review the level of your giving, please contact David Wood on 01732 506241. You can download a standing order form by clicking here. Please download a Gift Aid declaration form here.
