As mentioned above, a further supply of Green envelopes has been ordered. This year’s order has been reduced due to the fact that more donations are gradually being made via standing order. This of course reduces costs and time taken to process. My thanks to those who are able to use this method.

In order to keep our records up to date (for the purpose of claiming Gift Aid), I would appreciate it if you could all take a moment to review your tax-paying status. If there have been any changes over the past year perhaps you could kindly let me know.

If you have any queries please feel free to come and ask and I will endeavour to provide the information needed.
