Government gives to Waldenses
Too good to be true ? No ! For every donation which you make to the Waldensian Church Missions , the Government will add a further 25 %, providing you are a tax-payer .
Since 5 April 2000 the new Gift Aid scheme has replaced Deeds of Covenant and the process is much simpler . This applies to all donations of any size or frequency . Thus a gift of only £ 1 made once will be increased by 25 % as will a monthly donation of £ 100 .
All that is required is for the donor to complete a simple declaration in the form given below and to forward this to the Treasurer whose address is on the inside of the back page . Once this form has been completed it covers all future donations by the same person . Unlike Deeds of Covenant , you are not committed to regular giving for a number of years .
Some of you have already completed such a form , but for those who have not , I would urge you to consider seriously this opportunity for the Waldensian Church Missions to benefit from the Government ’ s generosity , but more importantly , to enable our giving to our friends in Italy to be increased .
