Why do we have two gift days a year?

St Michael’s is made up of two charities and we hold a Gift Day for each:

1: St Michael’s Church Centre (SMCC) – Gift Day for Buildings and Resources

2: St Michael’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) – Gift Day for Mission and Ministry

Don’t we get any money from the Church of England?

All ministry at St Michael’s is resourced by us.

We amazing buildings, don’t we have lots of money?

The short answer is no. We still have daily running costs on our buildings, and we have loans of nearly £700,000 which still need to be repaid.

Why is there a gap in our finances?

This year we have planned for a deficit budget, but we know that we can’t sustain it.

Here at St Michael’s, our giving helps so much to happen!

To do all that we are doing costs £1440 per day. Currently, we are giving £1261 per day. Whilst we have a planned gap in 2022, this Gift Day gives an opportunity to close it in 2023.

Please think and pray about what you might give this year. Either as a one-off payment or a monthly standing order payment.

We invite everyone at St Michael’s to count ourselves in by giving. Our generosity helps us to Learn and Grow, Share Jesus and Serve….TOGETHER!

GIFT AID DECLARATION
Declaration of payments made by an individual to a charity
For completion by the donor:

•This declaration will cover all donations I have made since 6 April 2022 and all donations I make hereafter (either through multiple or single payments)
•Please treat my donations as Gift Aid donations (so that you can reclaim the tax back on my giving)
•By digitally signing this form, I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer. I understand that I must pay an amount of Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all charities that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes, such as VAT and council tax do not qualify and that St Michael’s Church will reclaim 25p on every £1. I will tell St Michael’s Church if I am no longer a taxpayer.
