Like every congregation of the Church of Scotland, we are entirely dependent upon donations of time, talent and money from those who wish to see the life and work of the Church continue in the village and community. Across the years, many people have given sacrificially and with each new generation we rely upon new folk to take up the mantle.

Regular and faithful giving is very important as it helps the Kirk Session and the Treasurer to make firm plans with confidence that the necessary resources will be in place to meet commitments. Offering your time and your talent is every bit as important as money and we are always glad to hear from folk who might be able to offer such support.

Bank Transfer

The simplest was to give to the Church is by bank transfer. This could be an annual gift or arrangements to make a  regular gift can be done through online banking. Please contact the treasurer or gift aid treasurer (here) for the Church’s bank account details.

Standing Order

Alternatively, for those folk who do not do online banking, a standing order mandate can be downloaded here,  completed and forwarded to their bank.

Please also consider completing a Gift Aid Declaration which increases the value of your donation as we can reclaim the tax from HMRC (see below).

Envelopes

If you do not wish to make a payment via your bank account, number envelopes can be obtained by contacting the gift aid treasurer. This method is more costly to the church in terms of bank fees, and bank transfer or standing order is our preferred method.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid Declaration forms can be downloaded here. “Signing up” increases your donation to the Church at no cost to yourself. By completing the Gift Aid Declaration on the envelope or a Gift Aid Declaration Form, you enable the Church to claim Gift Aid (25p for every £1) on your donation if you are a taxpayer.

‘Gift Aid’ donations form the major part of our income, and the total tax reclaims each year makes a significant contribution to the financial well-being of our Church. Please complete the form and return it to the gift aid treasurer here.

Thank you

To all members, friends and visitors, thank you for your donations and completed Gift Aid Forms. All donations to the Church are treated with the utmost confidentiality. If you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to ask for a phone call or a visit from the Treasurer.
