Cradley Church
The Scheme brought visible and immediate benefits to our church. A lot of people both reviewed and increased their giving. Around 15 existing givers switched from standing orders to the PGS and 9 new planned givers (who weren’t previously giving regularly to the church) also joined the Scheme. Overall, I would say that our monthly income from planned giving increased by c. 30%. Two years later, half of our PGS donors have increased their giving in line with inflation, thanks to the automatic reminder.
