Contact: giving@stmargaretclitherowyork.org.uk
Our Church and the many causes we support depend on the generous voluntary contributions of our parishioners and visitors. The funds raised help in many areas of our community and other world needs.
Please note: parish income has remained the same for the past 5 years (thank you), but costs are rising – eg heating £7k/pa. Our parish needs a regular income to survive and it falls upon ALL OF US to give what we can afford. Thank you.
There are now FIVE ways in which you can contribute:
| Way to contribute: | Considerations | |
| 1) | Standing Order | Regular income / secure / no cost to parish |
| 2) | Contactless Device at Church | Easy to use / secure / minimal cost |
| 3) | Online (Link / QR code below) | Easy to use / secure / minimal cost |
| 4) | Envelope | Regular income / involves cash, counting, banking |
| 5) | Cash (loose plate) | Variable income / involves counting banking |
Standing Order (the best way to donate for the parish)
- Bank account details: StMC SO/GA Form StP SO/GA Form
- The account number identifies the parish. Please put your name in the reference.
- Your contribution can be one-off or as a standing order.
Box of Envelopes: If you would like to contribute using envelopes please ask one of the greeters at church (boxes in porch).

Gift Aid (GA): If you are a tax payer the Government are very generous and will give a charity a further 25% added to your donation. For example for every £1 you give to the church we can receive and extra 25p from the Government. This makes a big difference to the parish and charities we support.
The Government also generously give Gift Aid on the first £8000 of loose plate – which can amount to a refund of up to £2000
Please consider the following:
-
Moving to standing order / envelopes if you give by loose plate
-
Making up for missed collections – regular income is greatly helped with the use of standing orders
-
Printing costs, counting time, and paper usage are all reduced with standing orders
-
Please do complete a Gift Aid form if you pay any sort of income tax at all
-
Increasing your contribution to keep up with inflation, particularly if not changed for a long period
