How the PGS can help:

2003 = £60 + £16.80 Gift Aid = £76.80

Gift increases in line with Retail Price Index (RPI)

2018 = £92.28 + £23.06 Gift Aid = £115.34 tax efficient gift a month

Extra £462.48 a year

Impact of the inflationary uplift

1. 55% of monthly givers inflate their gifts 2. In addition15% (inflation proofed givers) have increased further, either by super inflation (6%) or as a result of a parish request (9%) 3. Reductions: 0.5% donors have reduced their contribution
