Gift Aid Secretary Support provided by Data Developments
Recovering Gift Aid correctly boosts your donated income by a very significant 25%, therefore good management of the scheme is very important. Parishes often have queries that relate to Gift Aid requirements. In recognising this, Data Developments have developed a free Gift Aid course.
The course explains the requirements gives practical examples and useful hints and tips for both new and existing Gift Aid Secretaries. Time is left at the end of each session for live Q&A.
The courses are run by past and present Treasurers/Gift Aid Secretaries with the aim of spreading good practice, improved reporting and giving support to the people in the roles they have volunteered for. These courses are open to everyone, not just those who have signed up to use the Data Developments accounting pacakges and include:
