The best way to enable financial giving to your church is to create the right environment for giving, particularly with regards to the systems in place within your parish, and our role as Giving and Generosity Officers is to help you get these in place.
Making sure your church has the right systems in place is essential to providing everyone in your church with the opportunity to give and to make it as easy for possible for people to give to your church.

Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a simple and secure way for churches to receive regular donations. It is an established service for managing Direct Debit donations, designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry. The service is freely available to all parishes, their churches and donors, within dioceses that have chosen to participate.
Parish Giving Scheme also now offers a one-off giving solution, making it the one stop shop for all your parish giving needs.
