Everything we do at St Albans is made possible by your giving. Thank you. If you're a new member of St Albans you can find out more about why we give on our Stewardship Page. To find out more about how the Diocese spends the money we give to them please click here.
Because of your support we can continue to run our Sunday services, and still aim to be at the centre of our community life by running and maintaining our hall for local groups.
Concerned about a vulnerable person giving? Please find more information here.
Please note, due to Covid-19 restrictions your cheque might not be processed and banked in the next few months. If at all possible, we would be so grateful if you could try online giving instead.
Employer-matched giving
Many employers offer matched giving schemes. In most cases,
the company will match your donation pound-for-pound up to a specific amount; a
handful of organisations will even double your gift. You can download a
list of companies here that we understand currently match gifts
donated by their employees. This list is not definitive, and many more
companies may also offer this option.
If your employer is not listed, please contact the Human Resources or Social Responsibility Office at your workplace to find out if they operate a matched giving scheme: please bear in mind some employers may not match giving for religious purposes.
The information you provide when you give will be used to process your gift, thank you, recover gift aid (where relevant) and keep you up to date with what is happening in the life of the church. For more information on how we use your data, please view our privacy policy. You can unsubscribe or amend your communication preferences at any time by emailing the parish office or accessing your iKnow account if you have one.
As Saint Alban's Church is a registered charity ( Charity number 1132600), if you are a UK taxpayer and liable to pay income tax or capital gains tax, you can enhance your giving to the Church, at no cost to yourself, by signing up to GIFT AID, which enables the Church to claim from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) an additional 25% on the value of your giving. There is a proviso that you must be liable to pay tax up to the total value of your giving in any one tax year. If you are liable for tax at rates higher than standard rate, 20%, extra concessions are available and we would give details on request.
Please note that, even if you don't complete a tax return, it doesn't mean that you are not paying tax!
Please contact the Church Fund Secretary Norman Shurrock for more information.
