Donating to St Barnabas

St Barnabas Bethnal Green receives absolutely no money from the State. We really need your support to continue our vital ministry in the East End of London. Please give generously and be assured your support is very much appreciated.

Donating in person and/or in kind

You can make a contactless card donation in church - just look for our donation kiosk near the entrance. We also collect donations during Parish Mass (Sundays, 10:30am). If you are Gift Aid eligible, please use the yellow envelopes you will find throughout the church and complete your details on the front of the envelope.

We also welcome in-kind donations, especially support for maintaining our garden and items for our jumble sales. To discuss volunteering opportunities and other means of gifting, please contact our church warden, Linda Snooks.

At present, we do not accept food donations but we encourage you to give generously to our local food banks.

Making regular donations

We encourage members of our church to give regularly by direct debit to the Parish Giving Scheme, which means St Barnabas can reclaim the Gift Aid on your donations.
