•  GIFT  AID.

If you are a U.K. tax payer and have not yet completed a Gift Aid Declaration please consider doing so.  Through the Gift Aid scheme the Government will add 25% to your donations to the parish, at no cost to yourself.  If you have made a Gift Aid declaration previously you don’t have to do it again, but you must tell us if you no longer pay tax to H.M.R.C.  Because your donation has to be traceable to you, the parish will only be able to claim Gift Aid on your donation if you give by a standing order or by weekly offertory envelopes. If you already Gift Aid your donations and have moved to a new home in the past year, please give details of your new address to Mrs. Mary Lambert, the parish’s Gift Aid Officer.
