There are many different ways that you can give to the Church. We encourage all Church members to become partners in the vision and work of God’s Church in Walton-on-Thames by considering how much they give in time and talents as well as financially to the Church.
PARISH GIVING SCHEME
The direct debit scheme is run by Guildford Diocese on behalf of the Parish saving us on the administration ( inc. claiming Gift Aid). The scheme also offers the option for your payments to be increased every year in line with inflation. Everything you need to know can be found here including how to set up your giving using PGS and how to make changes to your giving.
Our PGS number, needed to register is: 170617147
STANDING ORDER OR ONE OFF GIFT
The simplest way to give is to set up a standing order with your bank. You are easily in control of what you give. At any time, you can increase it, add additional amounts or cancel. A regular donation allows us to budget and helps with our cash flow forecast. If you wish to give a one off gift as a bank transfer you can use these same details. Don’t forget to fill out a Gift Aid form. Available from the back of church or complete online here.

CAF Bank are not part of the interbank scheme for verifying names against the account number so a warning may be given when setting up using internet banking. The details here are checked and correct so you can still safely set up a standing order.
ChurchSuite
ChurchSuite allows you to make one off donations as well as set up your regular giving. You do not need a My ChurchSuite account to set up giving in this way. ChurchSuite will also process your Gift Aid donation and allow you to track all your giving via My ChurchSuite. Set up a one off donation or regular giving via this link.
GIVT
Donating with Givt is safe, easy and anonymous. You don’t require an internet connection, and most importantly it preserves the feeling of giving as opposed to other electronic set ups which feel more like paying. All you need to do is download the app which is available for both iOS and Android. Download the app and learn more here.
SMILE & EASYFUNDRAISING
When you buy almost anything online, you can help raise money for the Church. Use either Smile via amazon.co.uk or Easyfundraising. It costs nothing, is straightforward and benefits the Parish financially. Read more here.
For Amazon Smile search ‘The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish of Walton-on-Thames’.
For Easyfundraising choose to donate to the ‘Parish of Walton-on-Thames’.
CARD GIVING
We want to make giving as easy and straightforward as possible whether that’s in a service, at a fundraising event or paying for things such as tickets. If you would like to make a payment or donation you now can. Please contact the office for more information.
GIFT AID – add to your donation
Whatever way we give, if UK taxpayers sign a gift aid form and the giver can be identified, the Church can claim back the tax on the gift from the government! This adds 25p for every £1 given by gift aid.
Example: You donate £100 to the Church. The Church claims Gift Aid from the government to make your donation £125. That is wise, tax-efficient giving. (If you are a higher rate tax payer you can personally claim back tax on your gift)
Gift Aid Form can be completed here.
Giving is treated in utmost confidence. If, for any reason, you are unable to keep to your commitment, that’s between you and God.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT GIVING PLEASE EMAIL OUR TREASURER.
