Giving

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 receptacle 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. The church can provide you with an information pack, which contains information on planned giving, including a Gift Aid declaration form and a bank standing order form. Please pick one up from the back of church and once it is completed, please give it to one of the Sides people, the Verger or Churchwardens to hand on to the Treasury team.

Cashless Donations

By internet banking to ‘Richmond with Hudswell PCC’ (business account), Sort Code 40-38-19, Account No. 50701793.
In church using one of our contactless donation boxes (Apple and Google pay accepted)

PGS

Joining the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is an easy way to set up regular tax-efficient giving to St Mary’s. Click here for more details or see the PGS leaflet and form below.<.p>

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.

For Amazon you need to join Smile.Amazon.org. Again, Click here to register for Smile. Amazon.org.Enter your details and when asked for details of the charity you want to support, select; The Friends Of The Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin, Richmond North Yorks. Once registered sign into Amazon via Smile.Amazon and 0.5% of everything you buy will go to The Friends. It’s not much, but it is the best Amazon will do and it all adds up – and gives one a slightly warm feeling to compensate for all that money given to Amazon!

 

The Church was severely affected by falling attendances due to the Covid lockdown, but still has the same bills to pay. If you feel able to offer us any further finaincial assistance, everything would be greatly appreciated. This help may come in an increase to regular giving, or may be in the form of a one off payment. Please do not offer more than you are able.

Alternatively, you might consider donating to the Friends who are raising money for outreach work in the community over Christmas. Donations to the Friends are welcome by cheque, cash or BACS (Friends of the Parish Church St Mary the Virgin sort code 20 – 25 – 29 account number 2039 1441).
