Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) Five years ago, All Saints Hartford introduced PGS. It has replaced the envelope scheme and become established as the main way of Giving in our Church. PGS was developed and is managed by the Diocese of Gloucester. PGS is a not for profit company (Registered Charity Number 1156606) which processes regular gifts and donations for Anglican Churches. There are 34 dioceses actively using PGS including 4,500 churches with over 75,000 givers. There are nearly 30 members in our congregation who use PGS for regular giving, and it contributes more than 60% of our Direct Income. The scheme enables you to: Give monthly, quarterly, or annually by Direct Debit. Sign up to inflation linked giving annually if you choose to do so. Enhance your giving to the parish by having Gift Aid at 25% added to your gift. Give anonymously if you prefer. Give securely. The ways to donate through PGS: PGS provides three simple and secure ways to give with confidence; either online, by phone, or by posting a giving form.
