GIVING
The main source of income for New Life comes from the generous giving of our church family. Our income is used to support the work of New Life here in Croydon, including the pastoral and administrative functions and the upkeep of our building, plus 12.5% of our voluntary income goes towards our missions budget. We are extremely grateful to all those who give to New Life. Thank you!

Online (card payment)
Use the ‘Give Now’ button above to give one-off or regular donations. If you are a UK taxpayer please consider checking the ‘Claim Gift Aid’ option (more about Gift Aid below).
Whilst this is probably the easiest way to give one-off donations, if you are giving regularly we’d kindly ask you to consider giving via bank transfer which enables us to receive 100% of your donation.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a great way to make the giving of UK taxpayers go further. If you pay tax, New Life is able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 you give.
If you give through ChurchSuite, please select the ‘Claim Gift Aid’ option when you make your gift.
Please fill in a Gift Aid Declaration form below – you only need to do this once, but please notify us if you:
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
- wish to cancel your declaration
More info on Gift Aid can be found on the HMRC website here.
Advice on giving and money
We’d encourage anyone who gives to New Life or is part of New Life to familiarise themselves with our teaching on Money and Giving by reading this webpage.
If you are struggling with financial issues or debt, we would encourage you to reach out to our CAP Debt Centre. Have a read of this page and get in touch with CAP (Christians Against Poverty).
If giving to New Life would put you into debt, we strongly advise you against doing so.
