St. Benet’s Gift Aid Scheme
How to turn £1 into £1.25 – with no effort or cost to you!
What Is It?
The “Gift Aid” scheme enables our parish to claim back – from the Tax Authorities – an extra 25p for every £1 you give, at NO cost to you! The only requirement is that you pay enough Tax to at least equal the total of ALL your gift aid donations.
Your details will only be known to the Scheme Coordinator who must make an annual return to the Tax Authorities of the amount donated and the refund claimed.
Offertory Collections
Your donations can be made by Standing Order, (weekly or monthly) direct from your bank to the Church’s bank. If you prefer to donate cash weekly, you can use your Personal Numbered Envelopes for the Offertory Collections.
Second Collections
Donations for certain Second Collections – our parish’s “Church and Grounds Maintenance” plus four Diocesan funds – Priest Training, St Edmund’s Fund, Youth Service and Dependent Priests are also eligible for this tax reclaim. Scheme members should keep “Second Collection” envelopes for these.
(Most other organisations for whom we have a Second Collection will provide their own envelope, with a declaration form to complete, if you are eligible for their scheme.)
