What is the Parish Giving Scheme?

The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is an established service for managing Direct Debit giving, designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry. It reduces the burden of work on church volunteers and provides a simple and secure service to givers.

The service is freely available to all parishes, their churches and donors, within dioceses that have chosen to participate. Uptake is growing every year, with the majority of dioceses in the Church of England - and many of their parishes - now members of PGS and experiencing the benefits. You can use the search button on this page to discover whether your church is already in the scheme. The PGS makes it possible for givers to:

- Give monthly, quarterly or annually by Direct Debit

- Sign up to inflation-linked giving annually

- Enhance your gift to your church by having Gift Aid at 25% added to your giving

- Give securely and donate anonymously, if you prefer

In addition, you can set up a Direct Debit to give regularly to your church, by dowloading and printing the form below and send it to Rev Ed. Alternatively,  click here to make a gift directly from the Parish Giving  website.
