How can I give?

Thank you for considering giving to the ministry of Christ Church Fulwood. The church is entirely funded by the generous giving of the church family. Christian giving is motivated by our following the Lord Jesus who though he was rich, became poor and gave His life that we might come into the spiritual riches of a relationship with God and the certainty of eternal life. It is that momentous news that motivates us to give and drives our vision. If you would like to give financially to support the spread the good news of the gospel, this page lays out for you the nuts and bolts of giving and the various options open to you.

All forms and queries can be directed to Sarah Lightfoot, Finance Manager.

Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, we can reclaim 25% of your gift (regular and one off) from HMRC. Click here to download a form.

Note that, once you have completed a Gift Aid form for Christ Church Fulwood, we will claim the Gift Aid on all gifts that are eligible and are clearly from you unless you tell us otherwise. Should your tax situation change for any tax year in which you have authorised the church to make Gift Aid claims so that you no longer pay enough tax to qualify, it is your responsibility to inform us. Please do get in contact even if this relates to years in the past for which you have overlooked, or were unaware of, this requirement. We can adjust previous claims if necessary.

Regular Giving

It is a great help to have a high proportion of our income coming from reliable, predictable regular giving, as this helps us to plan well.

Standing Orders

• If you bank online you can set up a monthly, quarterly or annual standing order, using the account details at the bottom of this page. Please send an email to Sarah specifying the amount, frequency and date of the gift, so she can identify your giving.

• If you do not bank online, you can download the standing order form now or collect one from the church reception. We will then forward the standing order form to your bank on your behalf.

• Standing orders can also be arranged through the Charities Aid Foundation and Stewardship.

You can change or cancel a Standing Order at any time but, if you do, please let Sarah know as the standing order forms are an important link in the evidence required for Gift Aid reclaims.

Payroll Giving Scheme 

This is a means of giving from your income before tax is deducted. Some employers will match an employee’s charitable giving so it is worth enquiring about your company’s policy.

For more information, see the CAF website.

These can be made by: 

• Bank transfer (please include your name as a reference and email Sarah, so she can identify your giving)
• Cheque, made payable to ‘Fulwood PCC’
• CAF and Stewardship vouchers, made payable to ‘Christ Church Fulwood’ (Registered Charity, no. 1134057)
