Many Thanks, the DCC. Blue gift-aid envelopes Please ensure that you provide full name and address and postcode legibly in the details when you donate by blue gift-aid envelope. Failure to provide all these details will result in the Church not being able to reclaim the tax on your donations. Recently we have received a number of envelopes where these details have not been completed and therefore cannot submit a claim for the tax reclaim. The Food Bank There is a steady flow of referrals to our local Food Bank. This has now been operational for a year during which there have been 97 referrals, of which 53 involved families with children, ranging in age from a few weeks to 17 years old.
