How to give

We believe that everything we have comes from God, and that giving is part of our response to God.

There are a number of ways you can give to St Mary’s and we massively appreciate any gift you are able to give.

The best way to give to St Mary’s is as a regular monthly payment through the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). Regular giving helps us plan our work with confidence.

Set up monthly giving

  • We recommend the Parish Giving Scheme which also enables you to sign up for Gift Aid and to inflationary increases each year if you wish.

    You can find Parish Giving forms in the church, or visit our church page on: www.parishgiving.org.uk

  • Our account details are:

    St Mary Islington PCC at CAF Bank

    Sort code: 40-52-40

    Account number 00030819

    Giving by standing order requires a separate form in order to be eligible for Gift Aid. The Gift Aid form is available at the bottom of this page.

  • Some employers runs such “Matched giving” schemes where the employer matches the amount you give to eligible charitable institutions. Check directly with your employer or HR team to see if they offer matched giving.

  • We encourage you to make a will so that you can be sure your wishes for your funeral and estate can be properly carried out.

    A gift to your church in your will, either a sum of money or a proportion of the residue of your estate, once other commitments have been met.

You can also make a one-off gift online via the CAF donate using the button below.

Other ways to give

Donations can also be made using the card reader at the back of church whenever it is open, or at our 11am Sunday service during the collection. If you prefer to give by cash or cheque, please contact the church office. If you have any questions you can contact us on give@stmaryislington.org.

Gift Aid form

If you give by standing order as a UK taxpayer please complete the Gift Aid form below. Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your gift at no extra cost to you. If you pay tax in the UK, we can reclaim the basic rate tax (25%) on your gift.

Please notify the Parish Office if any of your details change or you wish to cancel your Gift Aid declaration.

If you pay Income Tax at the higher and additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust your tax code.

We will keep your details on file to enable us to process and acknowledge your donation(s). They will be held in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and St Mary’s Privacy Statement. If you’re happy for us to keep your name and contact details on our database, these will be processed in order to facilitate the workings of the church and will be held in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and St Mary’s Privacy Statement.
