Contactless Giving

Using contactless card readers is a great way to make it easy for people to give generously. You can also use these devices to take payment for fees, refreshments among other things. As a society, we are generally carrying less cash as more and more transactions are made contactlessly, so it is important that our churches enable members of our congregations and visitors to give contactlessly too. 

In 2022, Peterborough Diocese took part in a rollout of contactless giving devices with the National Giving Team. 52 devices were distributed across the diocese. Since then, the diocese has supplied subsidised devices to an additional 49 churches with a total of 101 devices; there are churches that have sourced their own contactless devices.

Since the original rollout of devices, these have taken a total income of £106,766 to date which is a huge boost to our Parishes’ economies. In 1023, the online and contactless giving across the Diocese (including those that we have not issued) was £195,000.

 

We continue to support parishes with obtaining and using contactless giving devices and online giving opportunities. Paul, Pete and Nuala are more than happy to support churches with all aspects of giving including contactless, online and monthly giving. We can arrange a call or visit with you or your Parish to discuss your needs..

If we work together, we can lighten the load. Watch our video to find out more:

Easy Fundraising

In 2020 The Diocesan partnered with easyfundraising to provide an additional simple way for churches to raise additional income.

Whenever you shop online, if your church is registered with easyfundraising and you access the website where you are shopping through the easyfundrasing website, small donations will be made to your church. The more people that you can encourage to do their online shopping in this way, the more the small donations build up!

Regular Giving

Peterborough Diocese is using the Parish Giving Scheme to administer regular giving in churches. If you would like to join the sheme or want to know more visit the PGS website or contact the Generous Giving Team.
