Parish Giving Scheme

The Parish Giving Scheme is a way of regularly giving by direct debit to St Andrew's. This scheme is recognised by the Church of England. 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. 

PGS  Telephone service

This is designed to enable prospective donors to set up a regular Direct Debit donation to your parish over the phone.

How will it work?

The service operates weekdays between 9am and 5pm.

Prospective donors are encouraged to set up a regular gift to St Andrews by calling the PGS dedicated telephone line: 0333 002 1271.

One of the PGS administrators will take you through the sign-up process – this normally takes around 15 minutes. You will need to have the following information to hand:

What happens next? 

Donors will receive written confirmation (by email or post) of their Direct Debit, including details of the parish they are supporting, the amount of their gift and the date of their first donation. Please note that if you currently give to the church via standing order, we advise you to wait until receiving the confirmation letter from PGS before attempting to cancel it.

 What if donors need to change their donation?

If donors wish to make any changes to their Direct Debit, they should notify PGS by phone on 0333 002 1260, or by email to info@parishgiving.org.uk or in writing to Parish Giving Scheme, 76 Kingsholm Road, Gloucester GL1 3BD
