Gift Aid from weekly offerings is an important source of income for the parish. We currently expect to receive 25p for every £1 put in the named envelopes, which after diocesan charges is reduced to 23p. Geoff Ford is the parish's Gift Aid Administrator and he will be delighted to speak to anyone who isn't yet in the scheme but would like more details. Geoff can usually be found after the 11.00am Mass on Sunday.
Remember, the 23p in the £ is gained by the parish at absolutely no cost to the contributor. Could Gift Aid donors please advise if they have NOT paid sufficient tax to cover their donations as this is a legal requirement.
We can also claim Gift Aid on Mass donations. If you are a Gift Aider please write your number on a special Mass Intention envelope available in the porch.
Please let Geoff know if you move house, marry and change your name, or stop work and wish to transfer your Gift Aid Declaration into your tax paying spouse's name, or cease to pay tax entirely.
