There are a number of ways for you to give to Bethany that allows your giving to be maximised.  Whether it is via standing order, or cash, we want to help you give well. 

Standing Order – This allows you to set up a regular payment to come out of your bank account and be sent directly to the Bethany Christian Centre Bank account.  You are always in control of this method of payment as you can cancel, amend, suspend or increase your giving at any time by simply contacting your bank.  You can download a Standing Order & Gift Aid form form here.

Gift Aid – If you are a tax payer, by simply signing a Standing Order & Gift Aid form declaration and returning it to the Bethany Christian Centre Office, we can collect tax back on your identifiable gifts.  This can increase your giving by 25p from every pound you give away to a charity.  All the government asks is that you have paid an equivalent amount of tax in each tax year.

Cash – Giving cash suits lots of people and so to help anyone who wants to give in this way, we provide small cash envelopes which can be used each week.   If you want some of these simply email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will send a supply to you. 

Other ways to give:

• You can set up your own charity account which has been specifically designed to make giving to charities easy and tax efficient.  One organisation that offers such a service is www.stewardship.org.uk  but there are others that may suit your needs better.
• Some employers also offer a Give As You Earn (GAYE) system, BT and EDF energy are 2 such companies.

Don’t forget – If you want to give money away, ask yourself a simple question – How can I do this easily and tax efficiently?  So, next time the DEC launch a large scale appeal, you may find that giving directly to them, and ticking the gift aid box, will allow them to receive not just your gift but the tax rebate element as well.  As opposed to dropping a sum of money into the Bethany collection basket, which is great but could be even better if the tax element followed the gift.
