At St Michael & All Angels we encourage all parishioners to commit to regular giving to ensure we can cover all the regular costs of our clergy and church. Regular giving also helps our PCC to budget effectively and keep track of our money.
.
Our preferred way of giving is now the Parish Giving Scheme, a service established by the Church of England.
It is a direct debit scheme which also claims and credits gift aid for us. As such it greatly reduces our administrative burden.
It also offers the option – without any obligation – of an inflation-related annual increase.
.
Regular Giving: You can set up a Direct Debit through PGS that collects your gift, Monthly, Quarterly or Annually. There are no processing fees, and you remain in control of your gift.

One-Off Gift: You can use a Debit, Credit card or your Google or Apple Pay wallet to make a single one-off gift to your chosen parish. The Parish pays a small transaction fee to cover the costs of processing.
In 2023 we ran a “Chip in” campaign to help us pay some unexpected one-off costs which we could not plan for: a broken boiler and burst pipes.
If you are already paying by standing order, we hope you will switch to the Parish Giving Scheme. Simply click the link above.
And if you are not giving regularly, we hope you will join the scheme.
Forms and guidance are available at the back of the Church and in the Parish Office. And if you have any queries, do please ask the Treasurer, Amanda Bradley.
