Generous Giving
Generosity is one of our core values at Bay Church. We want to be a blessing to the Bay and it’s through your generosity that we are able to fulfill our vision to see Society Transformed.
HOW TO GIVE
There are many ways to give towards the work of Bay Church
Regular giving allows us to plan ahead and budget for all the activities we’d like to put on throughout the year, making it possible to really make a difference and one-off gifts are equally important in enabling us to bless the bay!
For any giving support please email finance@bay.church

One-off gifts continue to bless and surprise us and add significantly to the life of the church. There are a few ways you can give a one-off gift:

Online using your card. You can send a one-off gift to us securely using our donate page

Gifts from legacies can make an enormous difference to the life of the church and its impact on our local community. You can include Bay Church in your will by the addition of a straightforward clause (see the example below).
“I give Bay Church (Torbay), Registered Charity No 1194618, such a sum as together with any other gifts to charity made under my will or any codicil shall constitute a donated amount equal to ten per cent (10%) of the baseline amount in relation to the general component of my estate.”
If you do decide to leave something to a charity in your will, then it won't count towards the total taxable value of your estate. This is called leaving a charitable legacy. You can also cut the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate from 40% to 36% if you leave at least 10% of your 'net estate' to a charity.

Whichever way you choose to give, UK taxpayers are able to increase the value of your giving by 25% at no cost to you. Simply complete this form and we’ll do the rest:
What is the impact of my giving?
Your giving feeds right into the life and vision of the church. Our Bishop’s Mission Order is to specifically reach children and young families with the good news of Jesus, and whilst we have secured outside funding to help with staffing and building regeneration costs, we rely on the generosity of your giving to run our buildings and bring life to all the activities and initiatives that will see our vision become a reality in the Bay and beyond.

"As a family on a low income, it means I can bring my children to a club without it costing the earth. Our meal that we get helps relieve the financial burden and also encourages the children to try new foods."
"It's fun, chaos, easy to invite friends to, lovely time to catch up with friends. The food we get to take home is so generous and really eases pressure for us that evening. Thank you to the cooks!"
