Finance

We support God’s work by giving our time, our talents and our money. Our money goes towards the costs of running the church (heating, lighting, insurance, etc) and a proportion goes to the Diocese of Leeds who pay the clergy and fund their pensions as well as financing church schools, staff training, etc.

Planned giving is a way of giving regularly to help us fund the work of St Edmund’s. Church members are encouraged to give 5% of their disposable income to the church via an envelope scheme or by standing order. Where appropriate we claim Gift Aid on these donations.

The church supports a number of charities each year aiming to give these charities 10% of our income.
