Gift Aid scheme

Parishes Gift Aid Scheme

Gift Aid is a scheme run by the government that enables charities (including churches) to increase the value of your donations by reclaiming basic income tax on the amount you have already donated. At the moment, we can claim 25p per £1 donated, so on a donation of £100, we will actually receive an extra £25, at no cost to you as long as you are already a taxpayer. What do you have to do? If you already pay tax, please sign a Gift Aid Certificate, send it back to us, then pay by Standing Order or use an Offertory Envelope.

Standing Orders can be easily set using either your banking app or online banking. If you do not have access to either of these, you can pick up a standing order form at the back of the church or from the Parish House (or HERE) and once completed these should be handed into your bank branch. Enrico Fertini, our Parishes’ Administrator (0131 669 5447), will be very happy to help you with this process
