Giving and Generosity

Hands hold a small wooden church.

At the heart of the Christian faith is the generosity of the self-giving God who entered the world to save humankind for a relationship with himself.

The Generous Giving team at the Diocese of Oxford is here to help you nurture a culture of giving and generosity within the context of Christian discipleship.

The 2025 Code of Fundraising Practice

In November 2025 the Fundraising Regulator released an updated version of the Code of Fundraising Practice.

All churches should make sure their giving and fundraising practices adhere to the code and to help with this you may like to watch the below webinar recording during which I highlight the key points that churches need to know.
