Planned giving can be achieved in two ways:
1. By a standing order from your bank on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
2. Using envelopes provided by us which you can put into the collection when you come to church.

If you are a taxpayer, there is a further advantage as the church can claim back the tax you have already paid, amounting to approximately 30% extra revenue.

London Diocese (in common with all dioceses) receives less funding from the national church each year, whilst facing rising costs for clergy pension provision. The diocese needs to be entirely self-financing by 2007.

This means that parishes are asked to increase their Diocesan Quota contributions by more than inflation for the next 5 years.

We should always remember that part of the Diocesan Quota payment from churches such as ours is used to support the work of parishes in less affluent parts of London, where needs are great, but resources are limited.

Membership of the Planned Giivng committee consists of the clergy and volunteers. There is also an open invitation to the Church Wardens to attend but they are not members of the committee. Membership is open to any member of the church who expresses an interest in the role of planned giving. There is no formal election process and no limit on how long members may serve.
