Giving is something members of The Belfrey do as part of our worship, commitment to God's people and support of the church.

Regular Giving
The most efficient way to give is directly to the church bank account by standing order. You can set up a standing order easily or you can contact our finance team.

Tax-Efficient Giving
If you pay UK tax (Income or Capital Gains Tax) then you can make donations tax efficiently. This means by completing a Gift Aid Declaration you will allow us to claim an additional 25p for every £1 you give. For more information contact our finance team.

Other Ways To Give

  • Give to Impact - our building project. This is a further opportunity to PLEDGE to Impact as we select the Contractor in May and prepare for Construction. If you pledge by 21 May a further 25% will be given on top by an Anonymous Donor. Please submit all new or extended pledges by the Deadline of Sunday 9 June.

  • Giving through your employer's Give As You Earn Scheme (check with your employer's HR department) and setting up a standing order through a charity agency such as CAF or Stewardship

  • Legacies - You can make a donation to The Belfrey in your will. Please ask your solicitor when you make or change your will, or contact the finance team for more information.

  • Share Gifts - Gifts of company shares can be donated to The Belfrey (this entitles you to tax relief). A website to help you do this is Sharegift.

  • Online purchases - you can donate to Impact every time you buy online, at no cost to yourself. Registering with easyfundraising.org.uk or their app version, and selecting St Michael le Belfrey as your charity means Impact will receive a small percentage of the purchase price. Over time these tiny donations will add up. There are over 7000 retailers on easyfundraising, so whether you’re looking for new trainers, Christmas presents, the latest air fryer or even to book a holiday, go to your chosen retailer via Easyfundraising and then shop as normal.

  • On most Sundays you can put cash, charity voucher or cheque (payable to St Michael le Belfrey PCC) into the offering bag or use the card machines in the church building
