Supporting St Andrew’s
The weekly work of St Andrew's is only possible due to the time and resources kindly offered by our community.
The PCC (Parochial Church Council) of St Andrew's is fully committed to utilising every resource available to us as a church. This includes fundraising events, grant applications, hiring out the Church space, and the contributions made by the congregation. Contrary to popular belief, Church of England parishes don't receive funding from the State. We are self-sufficient.
If you would like to give financially to St Andrew's, there are three ways in which you can do this:
Regular Giving
One-time online donation
Leaving a legacy to St Andrews
We also welcome donations of food and other essentials to St Andrew’s Church Homeless Project throughout the year (see here).
You may also consider volunteering at the church.
The Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme is a way of making a one-off donation or giving regularly by direct debit to St Andrew's. This scheme is recognised by the Church of England.
It's easy to use and if you are a UK taxpayer, Parish Giving will also add 25% Gift Aid (paid by the Government) to your donation automatically. Your donation will only be visible to our Parish Administrator, or you can make it anonymous when you sign up.
If you wish to leave a one-off donation for a specific cause please donate via the GoodHub button below (which allows you to state your cause).
For more information, email our Administrator: admin@standrewsfulham.com
Leaving a legacy to St Andrew's
A lasting gift that commemorates someone's life.
None of us like to think of a time when we are not around. But neither do we want other people to make choices about what happens to our money or possessions, so making a will is a wise step. Many people give regularly to the church while they are alive, but never think of including the church in their wills. We are very fortunate at St Andrew's to have received legacies in past years that are enabling us to carry out projects that would not otherwise be possible.
The PCC agreed that money left in this way should not be used simply to pay regular bills, but should enable us to do something special - a way to remember the person. The UK government also helps in that the amount you leave to charity does not count towards inheritance tax, and if you leave 10% or more to charity it will also reduce the inheritance tax rate.
We are currently looking at renewing the lighting system with something that will make the church both look beautiful and work better - and that is only possible because of money that has been left to us. It is a lovely way to make a gift to the church and for the church family to remember you!
