GIFT-AID COORDINATOR
The gift-aid scheme benefits our parish in excess
of £11,000 per annum. In so far as we comply
with HMRC requirements, we can reclaim gift-
aided donations. Thanks to Marie Techer the
scheme has operated smoothly. Now that Marie
has to move on, we invite a volunteer(s) to
continue the operation of this programme.
Familiarity with Excel spreadsheets is necessary.
Time commitment is not onerous. Anyone
interested in finding out more please speak to Fr.
Michael.

parish volunteers who have contact with children
