Everything we do is made possible by your serving, praying and giving.
Other ways to give

A one-off gift and regular monthly gifts can be made by BACS bank transfer. For a one-off gift, this is often called ‘pay someone’ on your personal banking website. For a regular monthly gift, you can set up a ‘standing order’.
To arrange payments by online banking, our account details are:

Many employers offer to match donations their staff make to charity, often £1 for £1. That means your gift could go twice as far, at no extra cost to you.
How It Works
You donate to our charity
You apply for a match through your employer — usually via HR, payroll, or your staff benefits portal
Your employer sends the matched gift directly to us once your donation is verified
The below information should be all the information your employer needs to get you set up.

Many employers offer Payroll Giving or 'Give as You Earn' which allows you to give directly to Basingstoke Church from your salary before tax is deducted.
This means if you give £100 per month and are a basic rate taxpayer, the gift will only cost you £80 from your net pay. If you pay a higher rate of tax, £100 a month will only cost you £60 from your net pay.
To find out if your employer offers Payroll Giving contact your HR office.
Please note: if you use Payroll Giving, your gifts will not be eligible for Gift Aid as you will not have paid tax on the amount.

Frequently
Asked Questions
-
As Christians, giving is our response to God’s amazing grace and the indescribable gift of his son to us. Generous giving blesses others and supplies the needs of God’s people, it is also an act of obedience and trust – in doing it we are saying that it is God, not ourselves or anyone else, who ultimately provides for our needs. Giving should never be forced or grudging, but rather voluntary and cheerful. ‘Let each one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves a giver whose heart is in his giving.’ (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Giving financially is just one way of expressing generosity. If you’re struggling financially or in debt, we encourage you to express generosity in a non-financial way by serving on a team, praying for the Church, or being generous with your time towards others. Item description

We are grateful for each gift no matter what the amount or how the gift is made, however if you’re part of Basingstoke Church, and in a position to give financially, we would love for you to consider setting up a regular, monthly gift.
Regular giving is crucial for us as it enables us to plan impactful, long-term projects and budget effectively.
The best, most effective way of giving is to set up a monthly donation via churchsuite giving or by setting up a standing order with your bank.
-
You can setup a standing order by entering Basingstoke Church’s account details on your online banking, banking app, or by contacting your bank. For our bank account details please select the Bank Transfer option above.

Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations – by the donor – from HMRC. If you are a UK taxpayer, and have paid or will pay sufficient income or capital gains tax, Gift Aid increases the value of your donations by 25%, so it means that your gift goes even further – and won’t cost you extra.
To complete a Gift Aid declaration, use this form.
Please note that Gift Aid declarations are valid for six years once you fill one in. If you give regularly and you’ve stopped paying tax, or you don’t want us to claim Gift Aid on a particular gift you’ve made because you haven’t paid tax on it, please let us know.

Everything we do together as a church is only possible because of your giving. With your support we run Sunday services, Alpha Courses, our Kids, Students, and Youth ministries and courses.
What you give to Basingstoke Church not only enables the work of our church, but also of other amazing organisations.
Every year the Trustees (PCC) at Basingstoke Church commit to giving generously from what is given to us.
We believe that God calls us to trust him with our finances and our personal giving is a sign of that, and we also want to model that as a church.
This year we will donate 10% of what you give to the church to support other charitable organisations with genuine need, who are committed to the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church or the transformation of society in Jesus’ name. -
You can request a giving statement any time by emailing the team at finance@basingstoke.church. Additionally, statements of giving will be sent after the financial year end in April.
