Giving to Christ Church
Thank you for considering giving to support the work of Christ Church Highbury
The day to day life of Christ Church depends on your generosity - our congregation and friends. Planned regular giving is invaluable for our budgeting and enables you to spread your commitment across the year.
Your regular giving will enable us to maintain and heat our buildings including the much-used new community centre, to meet the costs of our administration and to continue to employ Tamika, our Children’s and Youth Worker, and James, our Music Director/Organist, and to house Andy, our Curate. Your donations also enable us to look beyond ourselves to give to the Common Fund which sustains churches across London Diocese, to offer free or low-cost premises to brilliant initiatives like the Memory Café, the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants, Together Productions and AA. We also realy depend on your generosity to be able to support Mission Partners at home and abroad.
Here is our preferred way to donate:
Set up a Direct Debit through the Parish Giving Scheme – this option is preferred to a standing order. PGS is a charity supported by the Diocese which transfers your donations to our account by the 10th of each of month and, importantly, collects Gift Aid monthly on our behalf, reducing our administration. Go to Parish Giving Scheme to set this up or to make a single payment.
Other ways of donating:
Set up a Standing Order through your bank - email finance@christchurchhighbury.com for bank details.
You can also give through a CAF account; or your employer can advise on Payroll Giving.
One-off donations are also welcome through the Parish Giving Scheme or givealittle.co
Through Gift Aid envelopes in the pew seat backs.
