Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

(2 Corinthians 9:7)

REGULAR GIVING

St John’s has been amazingly blessed through people’s financial support and committed giving and we could not be the church we are without the generosity of so many people.  All our income comes from our congregation and we receive no external financial support.

We use the Parish Giving Scheme to process our regular giving and our gift aid claims, so you give to them, they process the gift aid and then they give it to us.

How do I set it up?

  • Online:  Set up a Parish Giving Scheme Account online HERE; OR

  • Using Paper:  Complete a simple paper form available at the back of church and hand it in to the office; OR

  • By Telephone: You can call 0333 002 1260.

How do I make changes?

You can make any changes to your giving by contacting the Parish Giving Scheme on 0333 002 1260 or emailing them info@parishgiving.org.uk.

ONE-OFF GIVING

If you would like to make a one-off gift you can do this via the Parish Giving Scheme HERE.

Fundraising

We have set up our church to receive funds through a site called easyfundraising.org.uk.  It’s very straightforward to use, the idea being that as you spend money on over 2000 internet shops – e.g. Amazon, Next, M&S, Argos etc, they donate a percentage of what you spend directly to your chosen cause. An example percentage is Amazon give up to 1.5% on purchases and St John’s gets 100% of the amount they give.

Legacy Giving

At St John’s Hampton Wick we welcome all gifts in Wills, however large or small, and we promise to use your gift to make a difference in our parish. 

Our aim is to use legacy gifts to help fund the ongoing mission and ministry of St John’s. This could also include significant development projects, whether buildings, equipment or staff.

Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to leave a gift in your Will for the general purposes of St John’s rather than for a restricted purpose. We will discuss possible uses of your gift with your Executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest in the church (eg music, buildings, children, youth, overseas mission etc) and the church’s priorities at the time.

You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to our future mission and ministry.

We will acknowledge gifts in whatever way is most appropriate too. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if the donor prefers.

If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact Rev Jerry Field on 020 8977 7733 or email jerry@stjohnshamptonwick.org.

If you would like to make a gift to our church in memoriam, please discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one.
