Webinars and training

Churches rely on the generosity of their congregations and their communities to support their mission and ministry. Many people give regularly to their church by standing order or direct debit. Others give in cash when the offering is taken in a church service or when visiting the church, and people will not be able to give in this way whilst our church buildings are closed.

Many individuals are going through financial uncertainty as a result of lost or changed employment during the restrictions, and that may affect their giving too. This means that it is even more important that those who can give are able to do so.

In this one-hour webinar, we'll cover setting up and receiving online gifts, encouraging online giving, communicating with your community, as well as providing an opportunity to ask questions which will be answered live.

Dates: 25 March 3pm & 16 April 12pm

You will learn how to use online giving to broaden your giving base. This webinar is a follow on to ‘Receiving Online Gifts’ and is aimed at those who already have a Give a Little account.
