Join our online campaign to promote the benefits of the Parish Giving Scheme

First published on: 13th May 2021

From May 19th for a fortnight we will be taking to our Facebook and Twitter channels to promote the benefits of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) to an online community. And we are encouraging all parishes and deaneries to get involved.
 
Through a series of tweets and Facebook posts, we will explain how simple it is to use PGS to support the mission and ministry of their local church through this popular, easy-to-use scheme.
 
Parishes can join in our online campaign by sharing and retweeting our posts as together we work to help others understand why giving through the PGS is a real benefit. We hope that this will help you gain more interest in giving to your church.

We have seen tremendous take up of the PGS with parishes across our diocese seeing this scheme give a much-needed boost to their giving and income. Financial Resources Officer, Cath Gaskell commented, “Over the last year we have seen the biggest increase in the number of givers/donors giving through the Parish Giving Scheme and this year the churches in our diocese will receive well over £3million from the scheme”

So it is clear it works and at a time when finances are under extreme pressure and many traditional methods to encourage giving are not available to churches then promoting the Parish Giving Scheme is more important than ever.

Our diocesan online campaign will start on May 19th with posts being pushed out on www.facebook.com/LiverpoolDiocese and www.twitter.com/LivDiocese  So if you are in control of your church’s social media accounts then please share and retweet to help push the message out further.

 

Help your church communicate the giving message

You can find more resources and ways to promote the PGS on their website

This includes using this animation about the three ways givers can set up their giving vis PGS to their church.

You can add it to your own website as part of the campaign and we will be launching our campaign by sharing this as part of our campaign.

 

Make sure your church is signed up to PGS

If your church has not signed up to PGS then go to www.liverpool.anglican.org/parish-giving-scheme/ to see how simple it is to get involved. Or email Cath Gaskell  on cath.gaskell@liverpool.anglican.org for more information. And you can help by using PGS online to register your interest and encourage your church to join the PGS
