CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) has teamed up with St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster
Abbey and York Minster to create a revolutionary new Gift Aid Charity Voucher.
The
face value of each voucher includes tax already reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs
through Gift Aid. So for £100, UK taxpayers can buy a book of 20 Gift Aid Charity
Vouchers worth a total of £122.40 to distribute to their favourite charities whenever
they choose. The vouchers were developed initially to help churches enable their
parishioners to make tax-efficient donations into the collecting plate.

As well as using the Gift Aid Charity Vouchers to donate in places of worship, they
can be given to any UK registered charity, to scout groups, schools, fundraising
events and sponsored walks, and to appeals such as the Disasters Emergency Committee.
And unlike usual Gift Aid donations they can even be made anonymously.
