If you pay monthly for your mobile phone and calls, the donation is added to your next mobile phone bill by your mobile phone company. If you are on pay-as-you-go, the donation is taken from credit that you have already added to your mobile phone account.

When you give by text, you will also be asked if you want the church to collect the Gift Aid on your gift.

Let’s say you want to send £3 to church.

Text 360LIFE 3 to 70460 to donate £3.

These texts then cost £3 plus one standard rate message and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our ministry and fundraising via telephone and SMS.

If you’d like to give £3 but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text 360LIFENOINFO 3 to 70460.

To give a different amount, specify the amount you want in in place of the “3” in the above examples. For instance, to give £20, text 360LIFE 20 to 70460.

Now, let’s say you want to give £5 every month.

Text M360LIFE 5 to 70490 to donate £5 a month. These texts then cost £5 plus two standard rate messages and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our ministry and fundraising via telephone and SMS.

If you’d like to give £5 a month but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text M360LIFENOINFO 5 to 70490.

Donors receive a receipt every time they donate – this tells you how to cancel your regular donation should you wish - which is by texting STOP to 70085 at any time.

Ask your bank to setup a new standing order: please contact us first for the church’s bank account details.

Standing orders can be set-up using Internet Banking or telephone banking, as well as by writing to y our bank or visiting a branch.

Alternatively, you can ask us to set it up for you. Email treasurer@360life.church and we will email back a form for you to download. Or if you prefer, we can supply a paper form to complete, sign and return to the Treasurer. We then send it to your bank for you.

Cash donations can be left in the giving box attached to the wall adjacent to the refreshments serving hatch. The box is emptied regularly.

Donations of £30 or under, providing it is obvious that they form a single donation (perhaps by notes being folder together or the cash being given in an envelope), are eligible for Gift Aid. The church can claim this without knowing who has given the donation.

Most banks allow payments using Internet Banking for any amount, so long as you have the money in your bank account. Payments can be as small as £1.

To make a payment you will need the bank sort code and account number for the church. We don't publish this information on this website, so you need to contact us for this information. Please email treasurer@360life.church or contact us another way.

When you make a payment, please identify the account as "360Life Church".

To help us, please supply a reference for the payment. We suggest you include your name, whether the gift is covered by a Gift Aid form already completed and whether the gift is designated for a specific purpose. For instance:

"J Bloggs, GA" for a Gift-aided payment

"J Smith, Love Fund" for a non-Gift-aided gift, designated for the Love Fund.

Of course you can save time and use Internet Banking to create regular payments. In effect, this is identical to giving by standing order.

UK tax payers: if you pay Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the UK, we can claim back 25p on every £1 that you donate to 360Life Church through the Gift Aid scheme.

This extra is recovered from the tax that you've already paid on the money that you have donated from. To allow us to do this, you have to complete a Gift Aid declaration.

If you pay income tax in the UK at the higher rate (40%) or at the additional rate (45%), giving directly to 360Life Church only allows us to reclaim through Gift Aid the element of the tax paid at the basic rate of income tax. But you may then recover, through your tax return, the difference between the basic rate tax that 360Life Church recovers and the higher or additional tax rate that you paid on your money.

If you give to the church via Payroll Giving, since you are giving from money before you pay tax on it, you actually pass on the full benefit to 360Life Church immediately and Gift Aid is not applicable.
