Donations
The Church does not receive any funding from any organizations or charities of the UK, Greece or Cyprus. It relies heavily on your donations for all its expenses, including salaries, buildings insurance, gas and electricity bills, maintenance, cleaning, etc. Your donation is essential and very much appreciated!
Your donation can help more if your convert your regular donations at the Church to a monthly Standing Order.
Please contact your bank or use your online banking platform to set up a Standing Order to:
| Account Name | Greek Orthodox Community Donations A/C |
|---|---|
| Sort Code | 30-64-42 |
| Account number | 34010060 |
| Reference | Your full name |
Benefits of donating with a standing order:
- Steady income for the Church all year round
- Less cash means easier, faster and clearer accounting at the end of each year
- No fees to pay to the likes of PayPal, JustGiving, GoFundMe, etc.
If you do not want to commit to regular donations, one-off donations (via direct bank transfer) are perfectly fine too!
Gift Aid
Donating through Gift Aid does not cost you extra but enables the Church to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. And if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim back the difference between the tax you've paid on the donation and what the Church got back when you fill in your Self Assessment tax return.
For your donations to attract Gift Aid, you just have to fill in our online Gift Aid declaration.
