Why Give?
As Christians, giving is our response to God’s amazing grace and the indescribable gift of His son to us. Generous giving blesses others and supplies the needs of God’s people, it is also an act of obedience and trust – in doing it we are saying that it is God, not ourselves or anyone else, who ultimately provides for our needs. Giving should never be forced or grudging, but rather voluntary and cheerful. ‘Let each one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves a giver whose heart is in his giving.’ (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Giving financially is just one way of expressing generosity. If you’re struggling financially or in debt, we encourage you to express generosity in a non-financial way by serving on a team, praying for the Church, or being generous with your time towards others.
What is the best way to give to Jubilee?
We are grateful for each gift no matter what the amount or how the gift is made, however if you’re part of Jubilee, and in a position to give financially, we would love for you to consider setting up a regular, monthly gift. Regular giving is crucial for us as it enables us to plan impactful, long-term projects and reach as many people as possible with the love of Jesus.
Right now, you can give regularly by setting up a standing order / bank transfer with your bank (details below). Currently the most cost efficient way to give into the work of Jubilee is via your bank as this does not incur any charges or fees.
How do I set up a monthly gift to Jubilee?
Alternatively you can set up a regular gift by standing order or by using credit or debit card (see below).
How do I set up a gift by standing order?
The best way to set up a standing order is through online banking or by contacting your bank, using Jubilee's bank details. Note: Once you’ve set up a standing order or recurring gift, email the team at finance@jubilee.org.uk to let us know. This allows us to identify your gift, create an annual statement for you, and thank you!
How do I make a one off credit or debit card gift?
You can make a one-off card gift by clicking the ‘Give now’ button above or by clicking here.
Can I make a direct bank transfer to Jubilee?
Yes, you can find our bank details here. Please quote your first name and surname as the reference. Note: Once you’ve set up a standing order or recurring gift, email the team at finance@jubilee.org.uk to let us know. This allows us to identify your gift, create an annual statement for you, and thank you!
What is Gift Aid and how can I add it to my giving?
Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations – by the donor – from HMRC. If you are a UK taxpayer, and have paid or will pay sufficient income or capital gains tax, Gift Aid increases the value of your donations by 25%, so it means that your gift goes even further – and won’t cost you extra. To complete a Gift Aid declaration, use the form here. Around 1/10th of our budget each year is funded through Gift Aid.
Please note that Gift Aid declarations are valid for six years once you fill one in. If you give regularly and you’ve stopped paying tax, or you don’t want us to claim Gift Aid on a particular gift you’ve made because you haven’t paid tax on it, please let us know.
How will my gift be used?
Everything we do together as a church is only possible because of your giving. With your support, we can run our Sunday services, offer practical help to people through LoveDerby, evangelism through Alpha, friendship and discipleship through our LifeGroups, support through other courses we run, and we can run other ministries including programmes for Youth, Kids and Students.
How can I get a copy of my giving statement?
You can request a giving statement any time by emailing our team at info@jubilee.org.uk
Can I give via cheque?
Yes. To give via cheque, please make the cheque out to ‘Jubilee Church Derby’ and post it to:
Jubilee Church Derby
PO Box 7736
Derby
DE1 0RY

What if I'm concerned about a vulnerable person giving to Jubilee?
Jubilee takes precautions in our fundraising to ensure we protect our congregation, including people who are in vulnerable circumstances, from intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches. Our team take seriously any expression of dissatisfaction we receive regarding our fundraising practices and aim to resolve any complaints as quickly as possible.
If you have concerns about a friend or family member in our congregation donating to Jubilee because of but not limited to any of these reasons:
- A physical or mental health condition (whether permanent or temporary)
- A disability
- Learning difficulties
- A particular time of stress or anxiety (e.g. recently bereaved or made redundant)
- Financial vulnerability (making a gift would leave them in financial hardship)
- English is not their first language
- Concern that they are under the influence or alcohol or drugs
- A concern that they may be being put under pressure or being coerced to give
Then please do get in touch with our Safeguarding team to speak about your concerns in confidence.
