To the power of ten - maximise your gift of a tenner
The beauty of generosity lies in its simplicity – any sized gift can make a difference. A simple offer of ten pounds for instance can create a ripple effect that touches the lives of many people. Generosity is at the heart of who God is, and every gift is an opportunity to show his kindness to the world.
When you contribute to charities that align with your values and the causes you care about, you become part of something larger, something transformative. In this post, we'll explore how you can put your money where your heart is with a simple gift of £10.
By the way, if you give with a Stewardship Giving Account then you can immediately increase the impact of your £10 gift because we instantly add the Gift Aid amount to all of your eligible donations.
