Giving
As a denominational evangelical church we rely on our members and attenders to provide finance for the running of the church. We encourage all taxpayers who give to use the Gift Aid scheme whereby 25% can be added to all individual donations through a government run initiative designed to help charities maximise their income. This can be done at no extra cost to the giver.

How Should I Give?
Cheerfully; faithfully responding to how God is leading you (2 Corinthians 9:7). We also believe we should give regularly out of our regular income. These are the main ways to give:
‘We are an outward looking and hilariously generous church’
Thanks and God bless you,
From Mike and the LCF Leadership Team

Gift Aid
We encourage all financial supporters of LCF who pay income tax to register for the ‘Gift Aid’ scheme. ‘Gift Aid’ was introduced by the government to increase the funding of charities, (including churches) by waiving income tax on all giving received from all taxpayers. Roy Turner, Kevin Green or Ian Lewis will be able to explain how this simple scheme works BUT the beauty of the scheme is that it results in the church receiving an extra 25p for every £1 given. What’s not to like?!
Legacy Giving
When we go to Heaven, what a joy it could be to leave a gift to our church, LCF. After taking care of our family and friends, why not consider leaving a legacy to LCF? This can ensure future generations are blessed and receive the good news of Jesus
Easy Fundraising for LCF
How does it work?
Easyfundraising turns your everyday online shopping into free donations for charitable causes. How? Just start your online shopping first at easyfundraising.org.uk then shop as normal. Our retailers will then make a small donation to say “thank you”.
We have 3,626 retailers to choose from and so far we’ve raised over £26 million for thousands of community groups, schools, sports clubs, small and large charities across the UK. Easy!
Make sure LCF doesn’t miss out on donations when you are shopping online! Get the new Donation Reminder for your browser and it lets you know whenever an #easyfundraising donation is available at over 3,500+ online stores – so you don’t have to remember! Genius! Get the Donation Reminder for your laptop/PC: http://efraising.org/Z0Co76Oc8q
As of March 2019 we have raised just over £500 from only 11 supporters using Easy Fund Raising, £147 of this total was raised in just 30 days! Imagine how this money could be used! We’re sure many more of you shop online and might like to support us.
We would like to say that If you already support a charity of your choice via this method, please continue with that.
Big thanks to those who do support us so far!!
