Giving and Donating to St Edward’s and it’s Mission
WAYS TO GIVE
Regular Standing Order or One Off Gifts
A simple way to give is to set up a standing order with your bank. You would be in full control of your giving amount . At any time, you can increase or decrease the amount you give , add additional amounts or cancel completely . A regular donation thus allows St Edward’s to more effectively deal with its budget . If you wish to give a one off gift as a bank transfer directly to St Edward’s you can use the same details as given below .If you are able ( as a UK Taxpayer) Don’t forget to fill out a Gift Aid Form. Forms are available from Fr Prem or the Church Wardens.
Envelopes ( see picture below) for those of you who wish to donate and are able to use Gift Aid (UK taxpayers only ) are available from the basket at the rear of the Church – any Information given on the form/envelope is kept secure by the Gift Aid Officer (Church Warden Ian Beazley ) and will not be used for any other purpose.
Account Name : St Edwards PCC ( in full please )
Sort Code : 30-90-92
Account Number : 32815860
For any reference please use “Your Full Name” ( so we know who the gift has been given by)
Gift Aid ( Add Value to your donations)
However you give, UK taxpayers can sign a gift aid form ( so the giver can be identified) and St Edward’s can then claim back the tax on the gift from the government- This adds 25p for every £1 given when gift aid is used .
Example: You donate £10 to the Church. The Church can claim Gift Aid from the government to make your donation £12.50
