If you were away last weekend, you will have missed our campaign to get more people to sign up for Gift Aid, This is a Government scheme that allows the parish to reclaim the tax that you have already paid on the amount you have given us – which adds 25p to every £1 we receive. If you pay tax and are willing to help in this way, please fill in one of our Gift Aid forms. You will find them at the back of the church. Thank you to those who have already completed a form.
