The ministry and mission of our churches depends entirely upon giving and fundraising at a local level. Without such faithful generosity, the churches would not be able to continue in their work of supporting members of the community in good times and bad and in growing the kingdom of God.
Around 60% of the cost of running our three parishes is currently found by the congregations through planned giving and church collections. Planned giving, either by bank standing orders, via the Parish Giving Scheme or by weekly envelopes, not only allows parishioners to spread their giving but also aids the churches in their budgeting. Envelopes are available in all of the churches.
As charities, the three parishes are able to benefit from the Gift Aid scheme whereby a donor’s contribution can be increased by 25% at no extra cost to the giver. For the donor’s contribution to be eligible, the donor must pay income or capital gains tax of not less than the amount we claim.
If you would like to contribute regularly to the work of the three parishes, the Benefice Treasurer (Anne Alderman) can provide a standing order form for the work of the parish of your choice. Anne’s contact details are:

Giving can also be done through the QR codes below for Linch and Milland. This will take you to each parish’s page with the Parish Giving Scheme where you can make a one-off gift or set up a regular donation.
