Planned
Giving
Using the envelope scheme is
an excellent way to make a regular, weekly financial
contribution to the Parish as an alternative to finding
loose change in your pocket and purse. Alternatively a
standing order can be organised for a monthly contribution
to the parish which saves on cash handling and
administration and means your payment is never missed. Speak
to Bernard Steer on 0115 923 2028 if you would like to
join.
Gift
Aid
This scheme allows the parish
to recover money from the inland revenue in respect of tax
paid on donations where there is an audit trail in place to
show the donation going form the donor and into the bank
account of the parish. There is no commitment to a specific
amount of money for a given period of time.
The requirements of the scheme are:
- The completion of a simple form - a gift aid declaration.
- The donor must pay income tax equal to the amount being reclaimed each year.
- The donor must be a user of planned giving envelopes or use a standing order (see above).
- The parish can gain a further 28p for every £1 contributed.
The declaration can run indefinitely but can be cancelled at any time if personal circumstances change. For further details contact Bernard Steer on 0115 923 2028.
