WAYS TO GIVE 

REGULAR GIVING

Standing Order

If you prefer a printed form to send to your bank you can download one from stmarysaom.org/standingorder, or ask the church office.

To amend an existing standing order
Please use online banking or send a new standing order form to your bank. A new form replaces any existing instruction to make payments to St Mary’s.
 

Cash or Cheque

We can provide small cash envelopes to use each week. These can be put in the offering plate or bag at each service, or returned to the church office.
 

Online Giving

You can give online at stmarysaom.org/donate. Please gift aid the donation if possible. A processing fee of approximately 1.9% will be deducted from each donation, so a bank transfer is more efficient for large donations.

To amend a regular donation please speak to Insook Snudden in the church office. She will cancel your existing instruction and you can then set up a new one for the changed amount.”

Charity Accounts

Organisations such as Charities Aid Foundation or Stewardship allow you to set up your own charity account and make tax efficient donations to the church as well as other charities. There is a normally a processing fee of approximately 3%.
 

Payroll Giving - Company or Personal Pension

Payroll giving enables you to give to any charity straight from your gross salary or pension (before tax is deducted). Please speak to your employer. You will receive immediate tax relief. There is normally a processing fee though your employer may choose to pay it. 
 

ONE-OFF GIVING

Bank Transfer

You can make a donation from your bank account using our bank details shown above. Please let us know so we can track your gift.
 

Online Giving

You can give online at stmarysaom.org/donate. Please gift aid the donation if possible. A processing fee of approximately 1.9% will be deducted from your donation, so a bank transfer is more efficient for large donations.

Cash or Cheque

Cash or cheques can be placed in the offering plate or bag at each service, or returned to the church office. Please write your cheque to “PCC of St Mary Magdalene”.
 

Contactless Giving

You can give using a credit or debit card using the contactless card reader as you enter St Mary’s from the foyer.
 

GIFT AID

If you are a tax payer, please sign a Gift Aid declaration and return it to the church office. We can then claim tax back on your gifts, which increases your giving by 25p for every pound you give, at no extra cost to you. You must have paid at least an equivalent amount of tax during the tax year.

Download a form from stmarysaom.org/giftaid, or ask the church office.
 

Gift aid for higher rate taxpayers

If you pay tax at a higher rate, you can reclaim from HMRC the difference between the standard rate of tax and the highest rate you pay. For example if you pay tax at 40%, you can claim back 20% of the value of your charitable donations. You could then donate the tax you claim back as well.
