Gift Aid Secretary Support provided by Data Developments
Recovering Gift Aid correctly significantly boosts your donated income by 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.
These courses explain the requirements with practical examples and give 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.
They are run by past and present treasurers/Gift aid secretaries with the aim for these courses to spread good practice, improve reporting and give support to the people in the roles they have volunteered for. These courses are open to everyone, not just Data Developments users and include:
