The Parochial Church Council (PCC) relies on the goodwill of its parishioners for building upkeep, staff, and services. Cash can be donated using our donation box in church, but there are many other ways to give!
Tax Efficient Giving
PCCs are legal charities and are thusly exempt from income tax. More information on this can be found here. Please consider joining Planned Giving by using either the 'Parish Giving Scheme' (through which Gift Aid claims are made automatically) or a bank standing order and Gift Aid declaration. Stewardship Pack ar available at the back of church with all teh information and forms you need: please hand your forms to one of the Welcomers or Churchwardens to pass on to the Treasurer.
Cashless Donations are easy!
Online banking to ‘Richmond with Hudswell PCC’ (business account), Sort Code 40-38-19, Account No. 50701793, or in church by using one of our contactless donation boxes (Apple and Google pay accepted)

Online shopping and fundraising (without it costing you a penny):
Please do shop locally if you can. Doing so makes a real difference to the lives of those who call Richmond home. If, however you really need to shop online, why not raise money for the Friends of St Mary’s at no cost to you. Give As You Live is linked to 4000 stores and gives up to 5% of your purchase price to the charity of your choice. Click here to register for ‘Give as You Live’. Please ask for your donation to go to the The Friends Of The Parish Church Of St Mary The Virgin, Richmond North Yorks (make sure it’s the right St Mary’s – there are lots of them!). A little red heart will appear top right of your screen whenever you are shopping. Click on that and donations are taken automatically at no cost to you.
