Registered in England No: 8824540. Registered Charity No: 1156606 Reason for recommending the Parish Giving Scheme to Derby Diocese 1. Improve the current level of planned giving for our parishes 2. Reduce administration workload for parishes - gift aid and regular giving 3. 40 parishes not collecting Gift Aid 4. 14 parishes with no planned giving scheme 5. 62% of parishes where average giving is less than £10 per person per week Principles behind the scheme 1. Addresses static giving, option for an inflationary increase 2. Donations by monthly direct debit 3. Church needed to develop in line with Third Sector 4. Lighten the burden locally 5. We wanted a unique benefit … Giving can rise in line with inflation annually History Year Joining diocese launch date Live at end 2015 (year and month) In pre-launch phase or with launch in 2009 Gloucester (09) 2016/17 2012 Winchester (09) Conversations 2013 Chichester (02) 2014 – Joint Exeter (11) Venture (11) 2015 Guildford (03), Liverpool (03), Chelmsford (08) & Portsmouth (09) 2016 Truro (01), St Albans (02), Birmingham (05), Leicester (05) & London (05) Rapid growth • 846 parishes registered with PGS over 17,045 active donors • £800,000 raised during 2011(including £150k Gift Aid) • £10 million during 2015 (including £1.9m Gift Aid) Impact of the inflationary uplift 2016 year to date: • 59% of monthly givers inflate their gifts • In addition15% (opting in) have increased further, either by super inflation (6%) or as a result of a parish request (9%) • Reductions: 0.5% donors have reduced their contribution (not clear if this is as a result of uplift request) • Cancellation 0.5% – of which 9% as a result of death.
