Standing Orders and Gift Aid
Webmaster • August 19, 2023
The best way to make donations to the parish is by Standing Order. Setting up a standing order, or increasing an existing one, can be done simply through your own bank, either in person or online or with their mobile app. The information you need is: Account Name – Archdiocese of Cardiff. Sort Code – 20-18-23. Account Number – 93870367. Please be assured that this is the parish’s Bank Account even though for legal reasons the account name is in the name of the Archdiocese.
At Mass this weekend, members of the Parish Finance Committee will be at the back of the Church with letters confirming the individual Gift-Aid donations. Please collect yours from them.
For those taxpayers who are not yet on the Gift-aid scheme please do consider joining up. Gift Aid is a great way to make your donation more valuable to the Parish by an extra 25% at no additional cost to you. To sign up for Gift Aid, please email
whitchurch@rcadc.org and request a form or ring the Presbytery and leave a message. Completed forms can be handed in to the Sacristy or dropped through the Presbytery letterbox.
