Regular Giving
Like all parish churches, we rely on the faithful, regular giving of our community to offer the mission of St Bartholomew's and St Christopher's here in Haslemere. We receive no funding other than from our work as a parish, and the generous support of individuals. If you wish, you can read here more about how a parish such as Haslemere is funded.
Haslemere Parish uses the Parish Giving Scheme, which is a regular direct debit system incorporating Gift Aid, increasing your donation by at least 25%. Over 80% of those already giving regularly to the parish use the PGS. This is the most efficient way to give regularly to the Parish because it allows the chance to opt into the automatic small annual inflation uplift, which means the value of your regular gift stays aligned to the same cost pressures that the parish feels each year.
Those enrolling onto the PGS have full control of their profile, through our Regular Giving Officer, who is a member of the church.
What would you like to do?
What about confidentiality and security?
Regular givers can use the Parish Giving Scheme with great confidence. Details about personal giving are handled with great care.
Only the Parish Treasurer and Gift Aid Secretary will be aware of who is giving and how much is given. The clergy and all other leaders of the church will not be aware. All data security is provided by the Parish Giving Scheme and your own bank. The parish does not hold any financial data online.
