Gift aid operates in this Parish. The greater part of the Parish's regular giving comes within its embrace. The purpose of the gift aid scheme is two-fold. Firstly it provides a channel through which regular giving is encouraged and formalised. This is primarily via monthly standing order and is achieved by filling in a simple form.

The secondary purpose of the scheme is tax relief. If one of the methods mentioned above is used, this can be processed by the Parish in such a way that it provides an audit trail that satisfies the requirements of the Taxation Authorities. Provided the donor is a taxpayer, the Government will increase the giving by 25% at today's rates of tax. In excess of £10,000 a year is received in this way and the parish would be impoverished without it.

The Parish would like to encourage as many of its parishioners as possible to join the gift aid scheme. Contact the organisers via the Parish Office on 01684 574 250 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . if you would like more information.
