Support Our Mission
Give With Generous Hearts
Every gift sustains a parish that opens its doors to all.
Your generosity is what keeps our parish alive — the candles burning, the music rising, the doors open, and our outreach reaching those who need it most. Whether you give £5 or £500, one time or every month, your gift is a quiet act of love that ripples through our community.
Your Gift at Work
Every Pound Goes Further
Three small, real examples of what your generosity supports each week.
£0
A week of altar candles
Keeps the sanctuary glowing for daily Mass, Adoration, and the Marian shrine.
£0
A homeless meal service
Funds one weekly soup-kitchen evening for our outreach to those sleeping rough.
£0
A child's catechesis year
Covers the materials, books, and teaching for one child's First Communion preparation.

Other Ways to Give
Not everyone gives online. Here are three other simple ways to support our mission.
Set Up a Standing Order
A regular gift through your bank, set up directly by you. Download our standing order form, fill it in, and post it to your bank or the parish office.
Tip: tick Gift Aid on your form so we can claim 25% extra on every gift.
Give at Mass
Drop your gift into the offertory basket each Sunday. Numbered envelopes for Gift Aid donors are available from the parish office — please ring or email us.
Leave a Gift in Your Will
A legacy is a beautiful, lasting way to support the parish you love. Even a small percentage can change the course of our mission for generations.
A Simple UK Tax Scheme
What Is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows registered charities to reclaim 25 pence on every £1 you give — at no extra cost to you. If you pay UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax above the value of the Gift Aid claimed, your gift goes 25% further.
All it takes is a tick of a box and your full name and home address. We'll do the rest. Madonna Ministry is a registered Catholic charity and an authorised Gift Aid recipient.
