Gift Aid Reminder If you donate on the plate and you are a tax-payer, your donation could grow by another 25%.  You don’t need to be a regular donor, just ask Angela Theed for a declaration form and a set of envelopes, which have a unique donor number.  The number enables Angela to track your donations and claim the Gift Aid.  If you would like to donate on a regular basis, Angela will be happy to advise on that too.
