Outside Giving

 

The Parish Share ensures we share resources around all of the parishes.

Many people assume the church has large cash reserves and income from land and investments but this is not so. One big cost is pensions for previous clergy whose life expectancy is now considerably longer than ever before.

Because the church now has to pay its own way in this Diocese, the Parish Share system ensures even the poorest parishes have the same amount of money to pay the priest.

Without your contributions, the Parish Share system could not work and some parishes might not be able to afford a priest and the living church could not continue in those areas where it is possibly most needed

Giving to the church

Christian Giving - Who pays for our church?

The money you contribute through plate collections and standing orders, is used for various needs of our church; communion wine, candles, lighting, heating and buildings insurance are just a few examples.  A proportion of the money given goes to a number of charities, to the Beaconsfield Church of England Team’s Outside Giving, and also to the Diocese in the form of the Parish Share.


Giving is one of the most joyous experiences and none can be more pleasurable than giving back to God the fruits of our labours.  We live in a county and country which, by all accounts, is amongst the most privileged in the world.

 

If you would like to make a donation to

St Michael & All Angels church

Sustained and planned giving is a vital lifeline for the growth of any Church and, to make your giving more accessible, we are delighted to have a downloadable version of the Gift Aid Form for you to fill in and return, in confidence, to St Michael’s Church Treasurer.  These are accessible from the boxes on the right of this page.

 

Many people set up a standing order with their bank to make regular monthly donations.  If you are a UK tax payer, the Gift Aid declaration allows St Michael’s to claim back the tax element from the Inland Revenue which is an additional 28p for every one pound donated. This represents the amount of tax that would have already been paid on the donated money.

 

If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim relief on the difference between the basic rate and higher rate of tax.

 

Alternatively, you can use the envelopes provided in the church with the Gift Aid declaration.


A bequest is another way of ensuring some of your money goes to the church. This involves a simple addition to your Will, bequeathing a certain amount to the church.
