Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS)
The latest guidance is available on the Church of England website.
Key points to note are:
• Under the Communities Buildings Element of the scheme, parishes need not worry about 10 people being present in a service (this has been the case since 6th April 2017).
• Wall-safe donations count for all churches as will donations received outside of the building.
• Contactless donations can be included.
• Qualification requirements have been simplified.
