Frequently Asked Questions
Supporters can make donations by Direct Debit or by Debit or Credit card and cheque. Supporters can also make donations from the balance in their Stewardship Giving Accounts.
Givers from outside of the UK can arrange donations on your church or charity profile page but unless they pay UK tax, their giving will not be eligible for Gift Aid.
Donations will accrue in your Stewardship account and then, in most instances, be paid to you once a month. You can manage how frequently you receive the payments whether it’s monthly or weekly. Should you require funds in an emergency, you can request a withdrawal of funds in between your regular payments.
Whenever we make a payment to you we will send a communication to advise you so that you can access your account online to see details of the payment and the donations included.
