Envelopes -

We started an envelope scheme last April to help people spread out their giving over the year by fillng an envelope every Sunday whether at church or not. It has gone well and anybody can join. The sum put in weekly is up to you. We suggest you decide how much you would like to ocntribute over the year, divide it by 52 and spread the burden over the longer period. You decide where the money goes:
Collection
Assessment
Combination of both
You indicate your wishes when you join and you receive an account of what you have given . As with all donations in excess of €250 in any one year, you may participate in the Tax Relief Scheme open to charitable organisations. The idea is that the charity (in this case the Church) would benefit). So, if you are PAYE, the form goes to the Diocesan Treasurer who claims the tax relief for the parish or if you are Self-Assessed, youshould give a little more than the €250 in lieu of the tax relief and you give the form to your accountant to claim for you. To receive a form, speak to the Treasurer or. Rector
