GIVING

 

Generosity is a key value to the St Mag's Church family. We have an amazingly generous Father in heaven who pours out his unrestrained love to us. So when it comes to reflecting His nature, we do it in our words, our actions and our finances. 

​​

St Margaret's could not run without the faithfulness of regular givers to help keep our ministries running effectively, compassionately and safely, every penny is used carefully in God’s work.

​

You can support St Margaret's  through monthly giving (click on link at the top).  This is called the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) where you can register - it is what we use at St Margaret's for our regular givers and it is the most efficient way for us to manage our finances. 

​

LEGACIES

 

You can include St. Margaret's within your will by the addition of a straightforward clause. Gifts from legacies can make an enormous difference to the life of the church and the impact on our local community. Even a small percentage of the residuary estate can be a sizable amount, and contribute significantly to the work of our church. To help you consider what you possess and who you would like to give it to, see this template to help.
