How to donate to us here at Blackhall St. Columba's Parish Church
There are 3 Options below:
1. A donation via the Church of Scotland website
2. Bank transfer
3. Standing Order (Planned Giving)
Please also complete our GIFT AID form
If you are a UK taxpayer, we can supplement any donation of yours by 25p for every £1 donated by reclaiming the tax you have already paid on it from the government under the Gift Aid scheme. Gift Aid reclamations are a very important part of our income, but in order to claim under the scheme we need you to make a one-off authorisation. Once complete please return to the Church Office.

3. Standing Order (Planned Giving)
Planned giving is one of the principal ways and most effective ways to give to our Church. You simply commit to give a regular amount each week or month direct from your bank account. It can be easily set up, amended and cancelled.
The benefits to you are that you show your determined membership of St. Columba’s Church, you do so even when you are not at a service, and you do not have to suddenly find loose change when the collection plate comes around. The benefits for the church are that we know the money is pledged and we can budget ahead accordingly.
If you can set up your standing order with your bank yourself, it will start immediately and be of the greatest benefit to our church.
As a forward-looking congregation which is seeking to expand our mission and ministry within our parish and beyond, we rely totally on the giving of our church members. Every year, existing members are asked to review and, if able, increase their giving.
Regular payments can be made monthly, quarterly or yearly. Many people these days like to set up or amend standing orders themselves. Click below for our Standing Order Form
