Sheffield City Centre of Mission

Sheffield

Sheffield City Centre of Mission was formed in 2013. The centre of mission’s objectives are to grow new expressions of Christian community and inspire mission and evangelism within the Diocese of Sheffield. They are involved in coordinating mission and evangelism with the nine churches in the city centre and equipping them to build confidence with sharing their faith. The Sunday evening gathering is in partnership with the Methodist Church and Salvation Army. It is an extremely diverse worshipping community including individuals experiencing issues such as substance-misuse, unemployment and homelessness. It is a place where people share a meal and meet with God. Stephen Ramshaw is the evangelist at the Sheffield Centre and has been instrumental in developing John 10:10 Recovery Church, the first faith-based addiction recovery service in the city.

Every day I walk around 24,000 steps through the city centre, looking out for the people most people look past, and the police move on. They’re citizens of Sheffield but the streets are their home.

MOST HAVE CHAOTIC LIVES, DIFFICULT LIVES, STRUGGLING WITH SELF-WORTH, ADDICTION, LACK OF HOPE.

In September we started our first Recovery group. We’re the only gospel-focused recovery group in the city, supporting people to face their addiction and get free.

Working with these people isn’t clean or pretty; it requires time, and patience, a thick skin, and a tolerance for rough speaking. You can’t get offended, you’ve just got to get stuck in.

One of our lads came to the discipleship course on a Tuesday, and he kept saying he was going to turn away from his criminal activities, maybe in the New Year, but I said to him “It’s OK, Jesus will take you any time so, how about today?” It’s been amazing to see how he’s turning his life around.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the “Yes” box, I agree I would like Church Army to Gift Aid my donation of %PRICE% and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Church Army will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Church Army receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we’re entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
