Once your parish has registered for the PGS contact your Stewardship team for advice and guidance on how best to promote the scheme across your community.
Consider the suggestions below:
- PCC members sign up to give through the PGS in advance of launching the scheme to their congregants.
- Your personal experience and endorsement of the PGS will help offer reassurance to others on how well the scheme works.
- Promote the PGS alongside a Giving Programme or during Generosity Week.
- Introduce the PGS as a new mechanism for giving whilst your congregation is focused on reviewing their giving and the impact of their generosity on mission for greater impact.
- Utilise the free PGS Promotional Resources (see below) to engage people with the PGS and its benefits.
- A whole host of ready-prepared resources are available including essential 'How To' guides, posters, a newsletter template, video animations and prepared social media content to help you communicate the PGS, how it works and its benefits.
- Direct people straight to your parish page on the PGS website using your bespoke QR code.
- To find out how to access your QR code and edit your parish page please read the guidance: How to Update your Parish Landing Page
