If you worship with us

The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a secure and simple way of giving to the Cathedral on a regular monthly basis (or quarterly or annually if you prefer). It works by making a Direct Debit from your bank account on the first of the month, which is credited to our bank account shortly after. If eligible, you can opt to add Gift Aid and PGS claims this on our behalf, passing it directly back to the Cathedral.

Leave a legacy

If you include the Cathedral in your will, your support will continue beyond your lifetime, helping to protect the future of Chichester Cathedral for generations to come.

By leaving a gift in your will, your passion can become your legacy – and any gift, however large or small, can really make a difference.

Leaving a gift is a simple and tax efficient way to support the Cathedral. You might like to leave a specific amount, or you could consider a residual gift whereby you firstly take care of your family and other important outgoings, and then leave the remainder, or a share of it, as a charitable bequest.

If you would like to discuss leaving a legacy please contact Alison George, Director of Fundraising, Chichester Cathedral Restoration and Development Trust,
