Giving

Members of John Knox contribute to the life and work of the church in many different ways. Whilst the information below relates to financial giving, other pages on this site explain the variety of ways you can get involved and contribute to the church's many activities.

How can I give to the work of John Knox?

By setting up a standing order with your bank – download a form using the link on the right or contact us.

Through your employer's payroll giving scheme (this only applies if your employer runs such a scheme – your Human Resources department can provide details on this).

Other ways to give:

A regular collection is taken at all Sunday services.

If you would like to send us a cheque or a giving voucher, please send it to the Treasurer and make it payable to John Knox Parish Church. Our address is on our contacts page.

You can give in the form of quoted shares and other securities (which entitles you to tax relief).

You may also like to consider making a donation to John Knox in your will. Please ask your solicitor when you make or change your will, or ask us for more information.

Tax Efficient Giving:

If you pay UK tax (Income or Capital Gains Tax) and would like us to be able to claim back the basic rate tax, you will need to fill in, sign and return to us an ongoing Gift Aid declaration (see link on the right of this page) if you have not done so already. The benefit to John Knox is that it can recover the basic rate of income tax, currently 28p for each pound given. (If you pay higher rate tax, you may recover this through your own tax return.)

If you have any questions on these or other ways of giving, please contact the Covenant Convener by speaking to Alistair Watt or writing to:

Covenant Convener, John Knox Church, High Street, Stewarton, Ayrshire, KA3 5BZ.
