What your money does

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:

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.

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 Emma Porteous

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.
