Donate to Woodstock

Thank you for considering supporting the work of St Mary Magdalene. Each and every donation is hugely appreciated and gratefully received. All donations are treated anonymously, and only our planned giving officer Glynda, and Aidan, our Treasurer, have access to donor information. Each person is different and we have, below, a range of ways of enabling you to give.

Regular Giving

By far the most efficient way of regular giving is via the Parish Giving Scheme, administered on our behalf. This is a direct debit system protected with the direct debit guarantee. It also manages any Gift Aid claims and can recommend inflation increases annually if you choose. This scheme does not cost the Parish anything; it is paid for by the Church of England.

You can join the Parish Giving Scheme:-

  • ONLINE: visit the Parish Giving Scheme and set up your giving via direct debit using the secure online portal, or scan the QR code to the right of this section.

  • BY PHONE: call 0333 002 1271 between 09.00 and 17.00 quoting our code: 270627292.

To make any changes to a pre-existing donation through the Parish Giving Scheme, call 0333 002 1260 between 09.00 and 17.00, or email info@parishgiving.org.uk.

If you currently give regularly by any other way please consider moving to the Parish Giving Scheme and ease the administrative time on Glynda and Aidan and allow for inflation notifications.

If you are not comfortable with the Parish Giving Scheme then other ways of regular giving include:

Gift Aid

Donating using Gift Aid means that we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 given from the Government. It will not cost you any extra (providing your tax bill is higher than your donations). If, in the past, you have already signed a Gift Aid declaration form, then we will assume that any further gifts are covered by this declaration, unless you specifically advise our planned giving officer Glynda glyndasalter@gmail.com to the contrary.

If not using a yellow envelope or contactless where you have inserted your gift aid declaration,  please just email Glynda to say you want to gift aid your donation, explain how it will get to us and provide your name, 1st line of your address and post code to glyndasalter@gmail.com

Give by Direct Banking

  • Sort code: 20 98 48

  • Account number: 5070 0460

  • Account name: St Mary Magdalene (PCC Woodstock)

Some of the banking apps abbreviate our name to St Mary Magdalene Woodstock.

It is helpful to add a reference - preferably your name, so we can claim Gift Aid, or the use you wish the money to be used for.

Other Ways to Give

Cash, Cheques made payable to St Mary Magdalene PCC Woodstock or cashless are all welcome. If you pay tax please use a yellow envelope, or fill in the Gift Aid info on the contactless (you only have to fill the info in once per card you use) so we can claim back the tax and make your donation more valuable.
