The parish benefits from regular giving. Those who pay tax are encouraged to join the Gift Aid Scheme, which enables the Church to recover from HM Revenue & Customs the tax which you have already paid on your offerings. The scheme costs nothing and entails no loss of individual privacy. All taxpaying parishioners are encouraged to join the scheme.
If you wish to join the scheme, download the Gift Aid Declaration form, complete and sign it and return to the Parish priest. You will then be issued with a box of weekly envelopes. If you prefer to pay by standing order, mark the form 'BO' in the top right hand corner before returning it. You should also then download the Bankers Order form, complete it as indicated and send directly to your own bank. Alternatively, you may be able to set up your standing order online or using your bank's mobile app.
