Gift Aid it

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR LADY’S THROUGH THE GIFT AID SCHEME

The Church and its many activities are supported almost entirely from the money received through the Offertory Collection.  Your offerings are, therefore, vital to the life of the Parish.

If you pay Income Tax, you can help even more - without it costing you a penny extra - You can do this by joining the Gift Aid Scheme through which we can claim a refund of the Tax you pay on the money you donate to the Church.

You can make your contribution by cash, Bankers Order or cheque.  You don’t have to commit to a set amount.  There are no forms to fill in or claims to make.  It’s confidential – only the Organisers know how much you have contributed.

It’s simple and it helps the Parish so much so why not …

Join Now. To join or for more information, contact the Parish Planned Giving and Gift Organisers:
