The usual ways in which we give financially to the Church may not currently be open to us, but there are alternatives you might like to explore if you are able. One change you might wish to consider is to swap giving by cash or through the envelope system for setting up a Standing Order through your bank. You can do this by completing a Bankers Order form (available here ) and sending it to your bank. If you wish the parish to claim Gift Aid on your donations please ask your bank to ensure your name will be identifiable. Thank you. The Diocese has also put together a sheet on the subject which you can read here . Everything we do, from the Refresh and Tots groups to our Sunday Services, from opening our church daily to supporting our Mission Partners and community, this is only possible with your generosity – thank you!
