Giving to the church
Members of St Andrew’s Church contribute to the life and work of the church in many different ways. Whilst the information below relates to financial giving, other pages on this site explain the variety of ways you can get involved and contribute to the life of our church. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to get involved.
Money is an essential part of “Generosity and Sacrifice”. We have to raise all the income needed to run the church and its ministries ourselves.

Tax Efficient Giving
If you pay UK tax (Income or Capital Gains Tax) and would like us to be able to claim back the basic rate tax, you will need to fill in, sign and return to us an ongoing Gift Aid declaration if you have not done so already. The benefit to St Andrew’s Church is that it can recover the basic rate of income tax, currently 25p for each pound given. (If you pay higher rate tax, you may recover this through your own tax return.)
