Making a gift of financial support to your church helps establish our ministries on a stable institutional foundation, and provide for their future development. Like other Church of England churches, we effectively run on voluntary giving.

Planned Giving
The most efficient way to make a gift of financial support is through planned giving: that is, forward-planning and committing a regular sum to the life of your church, and maintaining this as far as you are able throughout the year. This can be done by joining the Parish Giving Scheme, Standing Order, or through the Weekly Envelope scheme.
Legacies
A legacy enables you to continue supporting the life of the church after you die. It is an act of generosity and charity which will benefit those who are still making their earthly pilgrimage within the family of faith. If you wish to leave a legacy to your church, please make the Parochial Church Council of Medstead a beneficiary of your Will. You may wish to add to, or to alter, an existing Will; this is done by means of a Codicil. We advise that you speak to your solicitor if you wish to make this kind of gift.
Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a direct-debit system developed by the Diocese of Gloucester to provide a professional, effective donation management system to support parishes fund their mission and ministry. It reduces the burden of work on parish volunteers and provides a professional service to your donors
Gift Aid
We can reclaim 25% of your gifts and donations from the government. This comes from the tax you pay on your income and which we can claim back to support the church. This costs you nothing. Every little extra bit helps out: especially if it comes from your taxes.
