Giving extra without giving more
How can I make sure that St Joseph & St Patrick’s Parish benefits from Gift Aid? Ask yourself two questions:
• Do you donate to St Joseph & St Patrick’s Parish?
• Do you pay tax?
If you answered “Yes” to the above, then you can “gift aid” your contribution and HMRC will add another 25p for each £1 you donate. So, if you donate £20 per month to the Parish then HMRC will give another £5 to the Parish. It will not cost you any extra!
This is money that you have already paid in tax to the government and HMRC are willing to support charitable causes (such as St Joseph & St Patrick’s Parish) in this way.
All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration available at the back of the church or download by clicking HERE, or speak with Canon Berry or use the email at the bottom of the bulletin.
