Paying-in methods

  • Online. Go to our Do It Your Way paying-in form
  • At the bank. Use the paying-in slip in your fundraising pack, or call 020 7523 2493 to request a new one.
    Complete the paying in slip, and take the cash and any cheques (made payable to Christian Aid) you've collected to your nearest Lloyds bank. Find your nearest Lloyds branch.
  • By post. Send any cheques and charity vouchers to us in the post at Christian Aid, Trinity House, Sculpins Lane, Wethersfield, CM7 4AY. Please do not send cash to us in the post. Where you are unable to pay it in at a branch of Lloyds using our paying in slip, instead, pay any cash into your/your church’s bank account and then write a cheque for the total (made payable to Christian Aid) and send it to us in the post.
  • By credit or debit card. Pay any cash into your/your church's bank account. You can then make a payment by debit or credit card by calling 0330 0434 101.
  • By bank transfer to Christian Aid. Call the Supporter Engagement Team on 020 7523 2493 to request our bank details for a BACS transfer. Please email giving@christian-aid.org to confirm that the money's been paid in, which campaign it is for, the church or group’s name and OR number if you know it, and ideally how it was collected – church collection, event etc. This allows us to allocate the funds appropriately.
  • Through our digital fundraising platform, JustGiving and GiveStar. The money will automatically be paid to us.
  • Fundraising sponsorship form. Keep track of your donations with our sponsorship form. Once completed, send your sponsorship form to Christian Aid, The Outset, Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 1NN

Would you like the money to go to a specific project?

If you'd like the money you've raised to go to a specific project, and be recorded against your church or name, please either:

Handling cash: how to handle it safely

  • Please don’t leave unsecured cash unattended, and make sure you bank both cheques and cash as soon as possible
  • If you can’t bank cash immediately, put it in a safe or other secure place
  • You must make sure that all cash you have collected is counted and recorded by two unrelated people, wherever possible, and the counting should take place somewhere secure
