Make a Donation

Church in Wales Gift Direct

Giving to St.C via Direct Debit using the Church in Wales Gift Direct Scheme is the best way to give, and it’s easy.

You can set everything up online, and under 'Beneficiary', please select 'Casllwchwr & Gorseinon: Gorseinon, St Catherine'. You can chose the amount you wish to donate, the frequency with which you give and you have the freedom to cancel at any point. Giving in this way is free, the parish gets 100% of your donation and the Church in Wales will even collect the Gift Aid if you are eligible, saving us a job and meaning that your donation is worth 25% more to the parish at no extra cost to you.

Give regularly by Standing Order

Monthly giving is vital to our mission as it enables us to plan impactful, long-term projects to reach more people with the love of Jesus.

To set up or amend a standing order, log in to your online banking or visit your local branch with St.C’s bank account details:

St Catherines PCC Gorseinon
Sort Code: 40-52-40
Account Number: 00016714

Quote reference as: your first name and surname.

Once you have set up or amended your standing order, please email us so we can identify your gift and thank

Give at a Sunday Service

You can give by cash, cheque, credit or debit card, or set up a new standing order at any Sunday service by using a giving envelope and adding it to the offering.

If you are a UK taxpayer, please consider filling in the Gift Aid declaration on the envelope to make your gift go even further.

Give by Text

To give by Text, sent an SMS to 07380 307 800 containing the code CATH, followed by the word give and the amount that you wish to give and adding an m or w at the end if you wish for your donation to be weekly or monthly, e.g. CATH give 5 is a one-off £5 donation; while CATH give 5w is a weekly donation of £5.

Employer Matched Giving

Many employers offer matched giving schemes. In most cases, the company will match your donation pound-for-pound up to a specific amount; a handful of organisations will even double your gift. You can download a list here of companies that we understand currently match gifts donated by their employees. This list is not definitive, and many more companies may also offer this option.

If your employer is not listed, please contact the Human Resources or Social Responsibility Office at your workplace to find out if they operate a matched giving scheme.

Some employers may not match giving for religious purposes, though most will match gifts to special projects like Food with Friends, our Holiday Hunger or Vision projects.

Send a Cheque

To give via cheque, please make the cheque out to ‘St Catherine's Church, Gorseinon’ and either give it via an envelope at a Sunday service or post it to the address below.

Gift Aid

If you pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the UK, we can claim back 25p on every £1 you donate through the Gift Aid scheme. To permit us to do this, please complete the Gift Aid Declaration at the bottom of this page.

If you pay tax above the basic rate, you can personally claim the difference between the rate you pay and basic rate on your donation (25%). You can do this either through your self-assessment tax return, or by asking HMRC to amend your tax code.

Leave a Legacy

One generous and highly strategic way for people to invest in God's kingdom and the spread of the Good News, even beyond their own lifetime, is to leave a legacy gift as part of your will. These gifts can make an enormous difference to the church's mission, such as resourcing a new staff role that multiplies our impact, or enabling us to greatly improve our services and facilities. If this is a way you'd like to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

You can include the church within your will by the addition of a straightforward clause, using the following wording:

“I give ____% of my residuary estate free of all taxes to St Catherine’s Church, Gorseinon (registered charity number 1134662) in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an officer of the Church shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors and trustees.”
