What your money does

Picture
Any donation that you are able to make to the church, whether a one off donation or regular payment,  will make a huge difference to the life of the church and will be gratefully received.   
​
This money is used for maintaining our worship and long-standing choral traditions, preserving the architecture of our church building, providing church-centred activities for children and community projects and helping local charities care for the vulnerable.
For example:
  •   £10 a month will pay for all the coloured pens and paper for the Children on Sunday groups
  •   £50 a month will pay for the altar wine for a year​
  •  £100  will pay for the beautiful church flowers for a fortnight 
  •   £304.17 will pay for one of our Choir members a month

Ways to donate to St Mary Abbots 


Become a Regular Giver  
Why is Regular Giving is important?
Although we raise money in a number of ways, by far the most reliable, and most proper for our Christian community, is planned, pledged and regular giving.   The work of the church continues day by day, week by week, month by month – and it has to be paid for on this basis.

Without this income, our Church would not survive.  The money we receive covers not only the upkeep of the church building, but our day-to-day costs, from the wages of the clergy and parish staff to the glue, sellotape and arts and crafts materials used by the children at the Sunday school.

If you would like to give regularly please ​Click Here to take you to our donation page

Make a donation in the church
We would like to thank those of you who have donated to the church via the wall boxes and the electrical donation boxes stationed by the doors.   If you put your donations in the yellow envelopes on the pews we will be able to claim gift aid for the donation.

Give As You Earn
Some of our congregation choose to donate through GAYE (Give As You Earn).  This is the most popular payroll giving scheme in the UK and is used by over half-a-million people to support all recognised charities.   If you would like to set this up please contact our stewardship secretary David Shaw 

One off donations
Perhaps you have visited the church or have attended a confirmation, wedding, baptism, Carol Concert or have just chanced upon the church and would like to make a donation.   If this is something you would like to do please click HERE.  Should you have been lucky enough to receive a bonus at work, or have come into a unexpected windfall, a one-off donation remain very welcome - no matter how how large or small - it will make a difference.    

Stewardship
​It is our responsibility to maintain and use the gifts we are given wisely and following the mission of our Pastor, PCC and church.   If you would like to find out more about St Mary Abbots fundraising and Stewardship please contact our stewardship secretary David Shaw 
The PCC of St Mary Abbots is a Registered Charity : Number 1132235
At St Mary Abbots we are committed to the safeguarding and care of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
