Supporting St Columba’s

Supporting St Columba’s

The work of the Church benefits the congregation, the wider community and charitable organisations (locally and further afield).

Every organisation and household will be affected by the current economic and social disruption. Although we are unable to meet for worship, nor allow groups to hire and meet in our facilities, we have to maintain the building and meet significant ongoing financial commitments for the wider Church of Scotland.

Your contribution is a personal matter:

Ask yourself how you can help to develop the Church and its ministry.
Review your contributions regularly.

You can amend your level of giving at any time, according to your personal circumstances. Our annual Stewardship Campaign in autumn acts as a gentle reminder to take action.

There are lots of ways to give. Please note that our preference from a financial point of view is regular giving via standing order, accompanied by a valid Gift Aid form, if possible.

This is the most cost effective for us and generates a relatively stable base to support the work of the church.

Giving Thanks

To the many who already contribute so much, either financially, in time and effort or both, thank you very much for your support.

Single Donations

There are several different ways you can make one off donations to the Church. You can give online using the donate button (via Just Giving), arrange a bank transfer, or write a cheque.

Recurring Donations

Regular, planned giving is a great way to give to the Church as it improves our ability to plan expenditure and provides a stable base for our finances. If you can add Gift Aid to your donation, this is most welcome too.

In Person Donations

At most services of regular worship on a Sunday, “open plate” collections are taken.

Legacies

You may wish to leave a gift to the church in your will. This has Inheritance Tax (IHT) benefits - not only is your gift exempt, but, since April 2012, if you give >10% of your estate to one or more charitable causes, the inheritance tax rate is reduced by 10% (from 40% to 36%) on the remaining estate.

Gift Aid

Have you considered gift aiding your donation? If you can gift aid your donation, it means that we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated.

Opening Hours

The office is open from
9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m,
Monday to Friday.

There is a 24-hour answering machine service.
