Giving
The work of Hadleigh Baptist Church is funded primarily through the incredibly generous, regular giving of individuals.
There are three ways to give to the work of HBC:
Standing Order
This allows you to set up a regular payment to come out of your bank account and be sent directly to the Hadleigh Baptist Church bank account. You are always in control of this method of payment as you can cancel or amend your giving at any time by simply contacting your bank or via your online banking app.
You can use the information in our Standing Order Mandate to set up a standing order online. If you do not use online banking, the mandate can be sent directly to your bank. If you wish to amend your standing order, you can instruct your bank using our Amendment to Standing Order Mandate.
Cash or Cheque
Giving via cash or cheque still suits lots of people – these gifts can be brought to the church or, in the case of cheques, posted.
If you have filled in a Gift Aid form, it is important that your gift is placed in a coded envelope – available from our Treasurer, Rob Twigger – this will enable us to identify them while preserving your anonymity to the greatest extent possible.
Similar envelopes can be supplied for other gifts.
Contactless Card
If you are planning to visit the church, and you prefer not to use cash or cheque, we have a ‘CollecTin’ which will accept donations from your contactless credit or debit card.
You can specify how much you would like to donate on the screen, with the limit being set by your bank (most commonly £100).
All contactless donations £30 or under are automatically eligible for Gift Aid, so you do not need to inform us as with other methods of giving.
Please be aware that the payment processor (SumUp) take a small percentage of every transaction, so if you would like 100% of your giving to go to the church, we would suggest a bank transfer using the details found above.
Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer you can make every gift to Hadleigh Baptist Church worth 25% more.
For every £1 given, we will receive £1.25!
By simply completing a Gift Aid Declaration Form and returning it to the Church Office, we can collect the tax back on your identifiable gifts.
What will my gifts be used for?
We seek to model generosity and every year we give a minimum of 10% of our income to support and encourage other Christian work and good causes.
All of our previous financial records can be found on the Government’s Charity Commission page. From there, you can see our past accounts and annual trustees’ reports.
