Generosity
You may have noticed that we do not pass a collection plate round during our services. We want you to enjoy our hospitality without feeling that you have to pay for the privilege. Our God has generously blessed our church, and we are glad to share that blessing with you.
Our regular members give to the church of their time, talents and tithes to help us share God’s love for Pudsey with our community. Most make regular monthly payments direct into our bank or via the Parish Giving scheme and have signed a declaration to enable us to claim Gift Aid on their donation.

All you need to do is complete a gift aid declaration and it can be applied to your current gift, any gifts that we can trace from the previous 4 years and any future giving.

Transparency – We use an accounts package to keep records of all receipts and expenditure. Our PCC receive a Finance Update at each meeting to monitor our ability to fund our activities. Please note that no money is spent by the church without it being authorised by 2 signatories, and records are monitored by an external bookkeeper. We are grateful to Sally, Fran, Marian, Tom and our bookkeeper Vanessa for the smooth processing of income and expenditure.
