@nectar In your message you state “Unfortunately, Gift Aid cannot be claimed in respect of Nectar point donations."
Actually, if done correctly, Gift Aid CAN be claimed. To find out more on how to do this, please call me on 07910391653.
I look forward to hearing from you.

#hignconf @HospiceIGNet
Good luck with your conference. Something you may like to introduce is GARR (Gift Aid Rate of Recovery). This metric indicates which fundraising activities do better than others and allow Hopspices to share and cross pollinate their successes.

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

Whilst it is understandable that Charities want more from HMRC, clearly this will cost. Gift Aid is from tax ALREADY PAID by the donor, so HMRC don't have to borrow any additional funds. It is yours, Charities, so make sure you get it! How? Ask me [email protected]

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

Claims for Gift Aid on Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) for donations collected in the tax year 2018/2019 will expire on 5th April 2021. You have a little over 2 weeks to get your claim in otherwise you will lose out on up to £2000 ! Get it now.

Sunak set to increase contactless limit to £100 https://t.co/jkIPyq3if2. Hopefully they will also increase GASDS above £30 maybe even the annual limit above £8000. One can but dream!

Whilst is is possible for the right technology, used in the right wa,y by the people who need and can apprcaite it, it is not unusual to get the best result just by doing the ordinary things, properly.

Love https://t.co/UvRWxdrQZf . Here's my challenge - who can post the BEST Fake News Tweet. My contribution "Trump was the best president ever!"

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

Clearly that charities, especially 'forgotten charities' @RachaelMaskell, are going to need funding. https://t.co/ZaRgeC91IH. There is an extimated £500 million in unclaimed Gift Aid. This is your taxes already in HMRC's coffers so go out and claim it!

Royal Canadian Legion and HSBC Bank Canada introduce tap-enabled donation boxes https://t.co/0EXDrodrkS
I belive it is possible to have Gift Aid using Contactless. How about it @HSBC @PoppyLegion ?

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, you should get a MAGA cap, because it really stands for

To make sure YOU get it all, sign up for the Gift Aid Declaration course, live on tomorrow Thursday 15th : https://t.co/SE1paXMB0o

8h October was 'Gift Aid Awareness ' day. In the sipirit of The Mad Hatter's 'Unbirthdays' I declare every other day as 'Gift Aid Getting' day. This give 364 days to do everything with Gift Aid. Sign up for Gift Aid Declaration training on 15th Oct. https://t.co/A7s1aN0jOD

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

@SarahHatstand BRILLIANT. Having recently become a grandfather myself, I can see what having a child, especially now during COVID can be like. And unlike being a CEO, there is no training and no user manual, and if you don't feel up to it, you can't even resign.

[Barry Gower @GAINGIFTAID]

Thank you to Howard Lake @ukfundraising for an excellent course on Twitter yesterday. Hopefully this will be the first of many (useful) tweets I will put out as I move towards mastering this new ( for me at least) medium

@mencap " Mencap faces £30k loss after mistakenly 'refunding' shop customer £90k". How can/did this happen?
