How to Set Up a Standing Order:

1. Log in to your bank account

  • Use online banking (via website or app), telephone banking, or visit a branch.

2. Find the Standing Orders section

  • This is usually under Payments or Transfers.

  • Look for "Set up a standing order".

3. Enter the payment details

You’ll need:

  • Recipient’s name (Soul Survivor Watford)

  • Sort code (check above)

  • Account number (check above)

  • Payment reference (*your name*GIVING)

  • Amount

  • Payment frequency (e.g. weekly, monthly)

  • Start date

4. Review and confirm

Tips:

  • You control the standing order—you can cancel or change it at any time.

GIFT AID

If you are a UK tax payer (Income or Capital Gains Tax) and would like us to be able to claim back the basic rate tax through the government's Gift Aid scheme, you will need to fill in, sign and return an ongoing Gift Aid declaration. This allows Soul Survivor Watford to recover the basic rate of income tax, currently 25p for each pound given, from the government at no extra cost to you.                                 

 If you are a UK higher rate (40 per cent) or additional rate (45 per cent) income tax payer and you give to Soul Survivor Watford directly you can also choose to allow us to reclaim the basic rate tax through Gift Aid. You are also able to recover, through your tax return, the difference between the basic rate tax that Soul Survivor Watford recovers and the higher or additional rate that you have paid.

If you give via Payroll Giving then, because you are giving 'pre-tax', you are able to pass on the full benefit of your tax to Soul Survivor Watford immediately.

You can update your Gift Aid details on ChurchSuite. Head to the My Giving section and you’ll see a Gift Aid Declarations section. Or you can download a form here to complete and send back to us.
