Giving to our parish

The cost of the upkeep of St Giles' and St Thomas's churches rests with the parishioners, although donations received from our many visitors make a valuable contribution. 

There are different ways in which you can donate to our parish and if you are a UK taxpayer, then you can Gift Aid your donation. The parish will then re-claim a further 25% of your donation from the tax-man. Gift Aid can be taken out at any time of the year. It is a valuable source of additional income to the parish at no extra cost to donors. ​

​One Off Donations 
If you are a visitor to one of our parishes and would like to give a one off donation, please use one of the donation boxes in church. If you are a UK taxpayer, then please look out for these special envelopes.
Just complete the details on the front, place your donation in the envelope and drop it in the donations box within the church.

Weekly Offering 
​If you are a parishioner and attend Mass at one of our 2 churches, then we can let you have a supply of Weekly Offertory Envelopes, or you could make your donation by Standing Order. ​
Please email our Parish Gift Aid Coordinator or download the Gift Aid Declaration and drop it in at the Parish Office. One of our Gift Aid organisers will contact you.

Funeral collections
​Many people choose to ask for donations to St Giles instead of funeral flowers. Funeral directors are usually happy to arrange this at your request. We can also provide you with envelopes for your family and friends to complete, helping us make the most of your donations with Gift Aid.

Wills & Bequests 
​Our parishes have benefited greatly in the past from the thoughtfulness of parishioners who have remembered the parish in their Wills.  Is this something that you could consider?
