Your generosity is changing lives.
Why give?
Generosity is part of Christian discipleship and we are very grateful to the members of our congregations who are generous in their giving! These donations help us grow and serve both the St Paul’s community and the wider community.
So if you consider yourself to be a part of St Paul’s, and you wish to either start or increase your regular giving, this can be done in the following ways:
-
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is our preferred method for making donations to St Paul’s. Follow the links to easily set up online a regular monthly/quarterly/annual donation from your bank account or a one off occasional donation using your credit or debit card, Apple/Google pay.
If you would prefer to arrange this by telephone, you can call PGS on a dedicated number 0333 002 1271, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm and you will need your bank details and quote our parish code: 010601343 to set this up.
