Blue Special Collection envelopes: For donors who do not use yellow envelopes, please consider taking a box of blue Special Collection envelopes.

Pink Visitor envelopes: These are intended for Visitors only. If you donate regularly, please do not use the pink envelopes. If you would like to donate regularly, please consider doing so by Standing Order, or alternatively, please ask for a set of yellow (including blue special collection) envelopes.

Gift Aid scheme: A Gift Aid tax reclaim will be submitted to HMRC shortly. Please notify us if you are no longer a taxpayer or if you paid insufficient tax during 2023/24 to cover the tax that will be reclaimed on all your donations given under Gift Aid to all charities during the tax year. At the present basic rate of tax of 20%, 25p is reclaimed for every £1 donated. If you changed address during the tax year, please ensure that you notify the Parish. If you are a taxpayer and would like to commence gift-aiding your offerings, please complete for a Gift Aid declaration form here. Should you prefer to donate by Standing Order, please also complete the bank mandate form. Thank you, Ann Roncoli (Gift Aid Organiser) giftaid.stcatherines@btinternet.com
