SPC treasury team thanks the members for their continued faithfulness in their giving.
If you make donations for local or conference funds by bank transfer, please can you check your payment requests and make the following clear:
1. You have added “GA” or your gift aid number to the reference
2. You are specific which fund you are giving to, ideally only one fund per total amount.
However, if you do give a single amount you must send an email to the treasury inbox stating the allocation of the total to which funds. If it is not clear we will allocate to the Church Budget Offering.
From April 1 2026, if you give using tithe envelopes, we will be moving to a new process, as discussed and agreed with the SEC, to simplify the processing of conference funds, by asking you to make all cheques payable to Stanborough Park Church and not payable to SEC.
In addition, all donations to conference funds and all donations with gift aid will be input into an SEC application with all personal details stored securely. This new process will simplify the banking and reporting overhead on the church as well as improving the accuracy of gift aid reporting.
If you are a UK tax payer and do not have a Gift Aid number or one starting with 470 or 471, please go to the SEC giving website and complete the Gift Aid application form. The UK Government will then top up your donation by 25%.
Should you have any questions please contact David Burgess (davidburgess330@icloud.com) or Busani Lusinga (bussy.bl@gmail.com).
