Preferred Method:
The ideal would be for everyone who would like to make regular contributions to St. Anne’s to sign up the Diocesan approved system which is the ‘Parish Giving Scheme’. We have been using this scheme for a number of years and find it to be a very easy and helpful way to contribute to the work of the Lord here at St. Anne’s, there are a growing number of people who give via this method. Essentially it is a standing order through which, once set up ‘Gift Aid’ is added automatically (if appropriate) as well as other benefits to the church. If you have already done this, thank you! However, if you have not yet done this, and think this is something you would like to do, please do prayerfully consider responding and by clicking on this link you can find out more about The Parish GIving Scheme. PGS Information sheet
Setting up is very simple, all you need to do is click on the link which will open a document explaining a few simple ways to set up your gift. How to set up your gift through the parish giving Scheme
Gift Form available here: PGS Gift form
Alternatively scan the QR code below which will take you directly to our Parish Giving Scheme page:
What happens next? You will receive written confirmation (by email or post) of your Direct Debit, the amount of your gift and the date of your first donation. Please note that if you currently give to the church via standing order, we advise you to wait until receiving the confirmation letter from PGS before attempting to cancel it.
How will the church be notified of the donation? The parish’s Planned Giving representative will receive a monthly statement, detailing the names of those who have donated (unless they choose to remain anonymous) and all the gifts given through the PGS.
What if I need to change my donation? If you wish to make any changes to your Direct Debit, you should notify a member of the PGS team by phone 0333 002 1260, email info@parishgiving.org.uk or in writing.
One off donations:
We have now set up a couple of alternative ways that make giving easy. This can be done through our website with one off donations, (gift aid can added during the process) Ideally this is for those who are visiting the church, or have a connection with St. Anne’s but are not wanting to sign up to regular monthly giving through the Parish giving Scheme, or those who find themselves in a position to make an additional gift alongside their regular contribution.
To make a secure donation to the church via credit/debit card on our website, please click here: https://stann.es/giving
Text Giving: We have also set up Text giving, again this is for those who are visiting, maybe Baptism or wedding guests, or those who find giving by text a simple and easy way to give. (The downside to this method is the church loses 5% in costs) Full details for this are on our website but to make a gift simply text STANNES to 70085 to donate £10.
