Your giving goes towards:

· Keeping the building maintained.

· To the hospitality, food, and events we put on.

· To printing the materials to keep people informed of what’s on.

· And much more etc.

Each of us should give what we believe the Lord is asking us to give. It will involve sacrifice, but we want everyone to give freely and cheerfully.

All contributions are valuable however large or small.

and add note to it saying :

Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations – by the donor – from HMRC. If you are a UK taxpayer, and have paid or will pay sufficient income or capital gains tax, Gift Aid increases the value of your donations by 25%, so it means that your gift goes even further – and won’t cost you extra.

To complete a Gift Aid declaration, please click button below to fill in Gift Aid declaration. Around 1/10th of our budget each year is funded through Gift Aid.

Please note that Gift Aid declarations are valid for six years once you fill one in. If you give regularly and you’ve stopped paying tax, or you don’t want us to claim Gift Aid on a particular gift you’ve made because you haven’t paid tax on it, please let us know.

Gift aiding your donation allows the church to reclaim the basic rate tax that you pay at 20%. Higher rate taxpayers can also claim back the additional higher rate tax either through your

tax return or by asking HMRC to amend your tax code. For St Bs to benefit, it is important that you add the additional tax reclaimed to your giving.

Yes. If you run your own business and choose to give through your company rather than as an individual, this is deducted from your profits before calculating your tax liability, so will reduce the Corporation Tax due. This is true whether your donation is in the form of money or goods-in-kind. The tax saved can then be added to your giving.
