Maximising Gift Aid Return
Thursday 13th November 2008, 2-5pm, NCVO, London
Charles Scott, Director of Finance, Help the Aged
Over the
past few years Help the Aged have invested significantly in their Gift Aid
processes. Charles will explain the rigorous processing within the organisation,
which has led to consistently clean audits over the past few years, and
includes using a state-of-the-art database, outsourcing the chasing of gift aid
forms to a telemarketing company, and moving all the forms onto an electronic
system to make the audit trail easier to follow. Help the Aged's trading arm
has just passed the £1million gift aid mark, and Charles will also discuss how
this was achieved, including the careful balance that was struck to protect
VAT, corporation tax and business rates relief. This workshop will be relevant
to both those charities with a trading arm and those without.
