As with all parish churches in England, we have to pay our way, and we raise funds in a number of different ways. Donations to our church make a real difference to our finances.
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a charitable company designed to manage regular or 'one-off' donations for participating churches. It provides a simple and efficient way to donate. Gift Aid payments can also be made using the scheme.
Regular donations made through the PGS use a Direct Debit, made on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Our church will receive exactly what is donated, with the charity's small commission charge being paid by the Diocese of Norwich. For our Treasurer in particular, the Parish Giving Scheme is the much preferred method of donating.
To make a one-off or regular payment to our church this way, please visit https://www.parishgiving.org.uk/donors/find-your-parish/norwich-st-mary-magdalene-norwich.
Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer. If you make a Gift Aid donation to us, we can reclaim the tax you paid on the donation from HM Revenue & Customs, so that the total amount we receive increases. We can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give.
Gift Aid envelopes are available in church for one-off donations. Whenever the church is open they can be left in the offertory bowl or through the office door. The envelopes need to have the name of the donor, as you need to make a Gift Aid declaration for us to claim.
If you are a UK tax payer please Gift Aid your donation. Add to your donation without it costing you a penny! Gift Aid cannot always be claimed. For instance , it cannot be claimed if you are receiving something in return for the money you give, if you are donating someone else's money.
