Growing generosity in our churches can feel like a daunting task. Our Stewardship and Income Generation Team are on hand to offer advice and help. Below are a few ideas that might get you started. Please email resourcingparishes@leeds.anglican.org to find out more.
Annual Giving Reviews
Giving Reviews are a valuable tool to help PCCs to enable and inspire giving and provide signposts to a wide range of approaches and resources to help build a generous church:
A Giving Review prompt sheet which will help you think about generosity in your church.- The Generous Church Review is a helpful activity for the PCC to undertake to identify what you are doing well and where you could improve and grow.
These are helpful to complete each year to see where your church is growing, and can be useful to determine where to focus your next Giving Campaign. You can find out more about these on the the Stewardship side of our website here.
Join the Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme is an important proven way to boost parish income by generating regular income including Gift Aid. Find out how to register your church, and how to promote this to your congregation on the website here.
