| MONEY This is a subject dear to most of us. We all dream of wining the pools or lottery, and the Guild is no exception. Sometimes the sums it can afford to send out seem pitifully small in relation to the problems they are meant to alleviate. Money isn't everything, but it does help! However any donations you make to the Guild can be increased, at no extra cost to youself, by making your donation under Gift Aid. Basically, any and every gift of money will have the potential for tax recovery, provided that the giver does pay income tax at the basic rate. All that is required is that you fill out a Gift Aid form which declares your name and address and the amount donated. Note that it is not even obligatory to sign it. You can download a Gift Aid from by Clicking here. There is a standing order form attached for regular donations if you so wish. Please return the forms to the Guild. Gift Aid increases your contribution by 28% so donations should always be made in this form if possible. These new regulations should not affect those of you who are already paying by Covenant, so there's no need to change your arrangements. We will keep our benefactors informed as and when the new regulations are made clear. In the meantime we ask you to help us in whatever way you can: Through Prayer: Pray daily for all who suffer from leprosy and for those who look after them. By Telling Others: Tell your family and friends about this web site. Will your Parish Priest let you leave copies of the Annual Report at the back of the church? Will he allow a special appeal at Sunday Masses? By Giving Money: As well as giving money now in your lifetime, you may wish to consider a legacy to St Francis Leprosy Guild. Any money bequeathed to charities is disregarded in calculating an estate's value for Inheritance Tax. If you wish to donate now, you can do so by cash, cheque or credit card. Cheques should be made out to "St Francis Leprosy Guild". Donations should be sent to the address below. (We hope to enable you to donate direct from this web site in the near future. Please check back regularly for details.) |
