Most members of our congregation give to the parish using the Parish Giving Scheme direct from their bank accounts. To set this up simply click the button below and follow the steps indicated on the webpage.
Alternatively you can set up a regular gift by calling the PGS dedicated telephone line: 0333 002 1271.
You will need to have the following information to hand:
– Your personal bank account details
– The name of our parish: North Stoneham and Bassett
– The PGS code for our Parish: 416013161
PGS allows you to confirm whether you are eligible for Gift Aid, and also if you wish to increase your gift in line with inflation each year or not.
To make a single one-off donation (including gift aid), please use the Stewardship Services at www.give.net/NSAB where you can make a donation using your debit or credit card. (If you already give regularly with using the Parish Giving Scheme above, you can also use PGS for one-off gifts.)
You can also raise funds for the Parish as you do your normal shopping using Give as You Live. To find out more and set up an account go to www.giveasyoulive.com.
You will need the following details:
– Charity: PCC of North Stoneham and Bassett
– Charity Number: 1175931
Another important way people can contribute to the parish is through gifts in their wills. In the past, legacies have enabled the parish to take on major improvement and development projects that could not have been financed through regular annual giving. Legacy gifts will continue to make a real difference for future generations of church-goers, and we are immensely grateful to those who continue to support us in this way.
Charitable gifts in wills are exempt from Inheritance Tax, and if more than 10% of a taxable estate is donated to charity, this can reduce the Inheritance Tax rate on the overall estate. For more information about “How Inheritance Tax Works” view the government webpage by clicking on the button below.
To make a gift in your will, we recommend you contact a solicitor to make or modify your will, and to obtain appropriate tax advice.
If you are a UK tax payer, you can increase the value of your gift through Gift Aid. The on-line services above provide mechnisms for automatically claiming this back (if applicable). However, if you want to make a gift directly to the Parish, a manual form is needed to claim the Gift Aid, so please download click on the button below, and fill out the NSAB Gift Aid Declaration and send it to the parish office.
