HOLY TRINITY MEANWOOD

Let us worship God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Church of England


Giving
All our mission and ministry relies on generosity. We get no subsidies from the Church of England or the Government.
We believe in a generous God. We want to be a generous chruch.  Please help us.

Whoever sows generously will also reap generously

Thank you for considering giving to Holy Trinity.

The best way to give is:

Regularly - This helps us to plan ahead.

Tax Efficiently - if you are a UK tax payer, fill in a Gift Aid form, we  get an extra 25%.

Realistically - Our costs last year totalled £87,000. Everything has to be paid for by giving.

Proportionally - our incomes vary, and can rise and fall with time, so the best way to give is proportionally. A tithe (10% of income) is the Bible’s guideline. For some, this may be too much; for others it is a starting point.

As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, olive oil and honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great amount, a tithe of everything.
2 Chronicles 31.4-6

Or, if you would like to give regularly

Firstly, please pray about your giving and decide how much of your income you believe God wants you to give and how often. Then, give in one of the following ways:
  • Set up a standing order from your bank account. The standing order and Gift Aid form, which you can download, contains our bank details, so you can either complete the form or use the information to set up your standing order via online or telephone banking.  If you are a UK tax payer, please complete the gift aid form.
  • Please contact us if you would prefer to give in another way, such as via a  Stewardship or Charities Aid Foundation account or by Payroll Giving.  
The above are our perferred methods, but if none of them work for you, please consider of the following:
  • Contact us and ask to join our envelope scheme. Each year you will be given a box of numbered envelopes in which to place your gift (cash or cheque).  The sealed envelope can then be given at any of our services. Please complete a Gift Aid form if you a are a UK taxpayer.
  • Give a cheque or cash at any of our services.  If you are able to Gift Aid your offering, please place it in one of the special envelopes provided and write your details on the front.

Why not leave a legacy?

It is good to leave charitable legacies through your will. This is very tax efficient and makes a public statement about your priorities. Indeed, if you have given throughout your life then why not give on your death? You may wish to insert a statement such as: “in acknowledgement that everything I have comes from God, I wish to give 10% of my estate to Holy Trinity or to the last church to which I regularly gave”.
