Information for donors

The Government’s Gift Aid scheme means charities can reclaim tax on all gifts. All you have to do is fill in this form. It will increase any further donations you make to St Mary’s by a significant amount, at no extra cost to yourself, providing you are a UK tax payer. With your help we can ensure St Mary’s service to this community for years to come.

Please complete this form in CAPITALS and return to:
St Mary’s Renovation Appeal, c/o Mr N. Howe, 49 Avondale Rd., Benfleet SS7 1EH

I want St Mary’s to treat this donation and any other donation from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations. I confirm that I have paid or will pay an amount of income tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all churches or charities reclaim on my donations in the appropriate tax year. I understand that Council Tax and VAT do not qualify.

(Please notify St Mary’s if you change your name or address while the declaration is still in force.)

At St Mary’s our Anglo-Catholic witness arises from a joyful acceptance of Christ our Saviour, a faith to be shared with everyone we meet. Our role in today’s society is to model and preach the love of Christ. We invite you to join in our fellowship and ministry. At the intercession of Our Lady and all the Saints, let us proceed as faithful witnesses and make our beloved Church of England the best it can be.

Proverbs 17:17

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (NIV)

We invite people who want to talk about their situation in life to contact us. We can and do pray with people every day. Often special time is set aside for this. So, give us a ring and we will arrange a time if the present moment does not suit.
