The Parish Giving Scheme can simplify giving for donors and treasurers, with many added benefits. This scheme provides a secure, efficient way for parishioners to give regularly, via diect debit, helping churches boost their income and financial sustainability.
Our Diocese joined PGS in 2023 and recommends that all parishes consider the adoption of this tool as the primary method for regular giving to their church.
Individuals retain complete control of their giving and have the confidence of transactions being protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee Scheme. Additionally, they are offered the option to easily increase their gift annually, which helps protect their church giving from the effects of inflation.
The church benefits from stable and often increasing levels of giving and improved cash flow, as Gift Aid is collected on their behalf every month.
Treasurers benefit from reduced levels of administration and paperwork as more and more regular giving and Gift Aid claims are handled by PGS.
For more information see: Benefits of PGS - Parish Giving Scheme
Church registration documents can be obtained from the Diocese by emailing: pgsregistrations@bathwells.anglican.org .
Individuals can set up a regular or one off gift to their church once their church's PGS account is live. Search on the PGS website to see if your church is registered and follow the prompts. There are three ways for individuals to set up their giving via PGS: online, by telephone or using a paper form. Paper Gift Forms can be provided for your church by contacting the Giving Team.
Once a church has registered and their PGS account is live, it is time to introduce the scheme to your congregation and community. Please see our helpful how to guide on how to launch PGS. PGS also has a range of advice and help on their website.
To speak to a member of the team, you can book a call here or email givingteam@bathwells.anglican.org and someone will be in touch.
