The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is an established service for managing Direct Debit and One-Off giving, designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry.
As a charity whose origins are within the church, we understand that, for every giver, generosity is an act of Christian faith that is deeply personal.
A unique feature of the scheme is the option for givers to commit in principle to increase their gift annually in line with inflation. While this is a voluntary decision, it is one that could potentially have a huge impact on the life and future of the church.
We are committed to easing the administrative burden for churches, while empowering all generations to give with confidence and to feel valued.
