Giving 
 

How can I give?

Many givers find that a regular pattern of giving, either by standing order or the envelope scheme, helps them plan and give consistently. One off gifts are also very welcome, either by cheque, bank transfer or using the contactless card machine at the back of church on a Sunday (just ask one of our welcomers). If you'd like to let us know about your giving please email giving@kpc.org.uk in confidence, we would really appreciate you letting us know so that we can continue to plan for the future.  

Bank Transfer:

KPC's bank account details are as follows: Name: Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Knowle, Solihull 
Sort Code: 40-26-22
Account number: 90508306
Reference: Please use a reference which includes your house number and postcode - e.g. 42B930NP. This allows us to identify that the gift is from you. 
 

Envelope Scheme (cash):

If you’d prefer to give cash, please consider giving via the envelope scheme. Call the Parish Office and we will arrange for a box of weekly envelopes to be sent to you so that you can put these in the collection in church. We can also claim Gift Aid on these gifts if you’d like us to.
 

To give to the For Future Generations project: 

Either:
a) Follow the instructions above but for the Payment Reference add REORD e.g. REORD42B930NP or
b) Give directly to the project online

 

Gift Aid

Where the money you are giving has been taxed, the value of your gift to KPC can be increased by 25% at no extra cost to you - we can claim Gift Aid from the government on your gift.  All you need to do is fill in a gift aid declaration - you can either complete the online form or you can get a paper copy from the Parish Office. 
 

Legacies

If you would like to remember us in your will, this would be greatly appreciated. For this purpose, our legal name is “The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Knowle Solihull”.
 

How does KPC spend the money?

KPC costs just over £765,000 per year to run.  Most of this is spent on people - the clergy and staff team here. We also need to keep the buildings safe and warm, and buy materials for activities like evangelism, youth and children's work. KPC tries to be a generous church; we're able to give away over 10% of our income to others.  Most of this helps other churches in Birmingham that don't have our resources, and we also give to charities fighting poverty both locally and overseas. Read more about our giving on our Global Mission page.
