Money – Cheltenham Minster with St Matthews

Giving Money

The work of Cheltenham Minster with St Matthew, staff and buildings is financed by the generous contributions of its members. Making a regular financial contribution is not only biblical but a very practical way of being all involved with the whole church and demonstrating commitment and support.

A full financial report, audited accounts and annual budget are published each year and made available at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The elected PCC scrutinises and authorises expenditure throughout the year to ensure good stewardship of all financial gifts. Cheltenham Minster with St Matthew is a Registered Charity: 1131805.

Visitors to us are under no obligation to give.

Ways you can give:

– Parish Giving Scheme (PGS)

The Church of England offers a Christian presence in every community, and by giving regularly, we enable the Church to survive and grow. The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) helps us to best manage regular donations and is run as a partnership between dioceses.

Donations can be made monthly, quarterly or annually, and although they are made to the PGS, donations are restricted to our parish. The donation, including any Gift Aid, is passed back to our parish within ten days of collection. The Scheme gives you the option to commit in principle, to increasing your gift in line with inflation, which potentially has a huge impact on the life and future of our church. The System is secure, confidential and easy to use.
For full details on the Scheme and how to support us through PGS, go to the website https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors/ or to access the telephone service 0333 002 1271 or email info@parishgiving.org.uk You will need the PGS Code specifically for gifting to the PCC of Cheltenham Minster with St Matthew which is ‘164/CHTM’.
