Gift Aid Officer Volunteer Role Description In many parishes the PCC Treasurer is assisted by a Gift Aid Officer. Having a separate dedicated Gift Aid Officer helps to make sure that parishes get the most out of Gift Aid. It also reduces the treasurer’s workload, reducing the risk that s/he becomes overburdened. Gift Aid is a valuable source of income for your parish, increasing donations received under the scheme by 25%.The National Church has produced a number of fact sheets (http://www.parishresources.org.uk/giftaid/) to assist you with maximising Gift Aid in your parish. Further guidance is available on the HMRC website.
The objective of a Gift Aid Officer is to:
help the church to claim Gift Aid back from all aspects of financial stewardship and giving by helping the parish develop its mission and ministry with confidence by promoting and implementing effective planned giving methods across the entire parish community.
