Having a spring clear-out?
(March 09, 2011)A simple minute taken in a busy life has led to £37.70 being
raised to help the work of the British Heart Foundation and a gift aid
commitment by the government being honoured.
'Your making a difference' is the message that local resident Paul
Macdonald received from the charity after signing up to a 'giftaid it'
card at the Market Place charity shop.
The member of staff promised to let him as the giver of a box of
small pieces of ornaments that had been gathering dust after the
passing of his father from a heart attack know how much it had raised
for their work.
Today the letter arrived. 'Your donations and the tax we can
reclaim from the Government will make a big difference - and help us
fight against heart disease.'
"I was really pleased to receive the letter as for a long time I had been sentimental about the pieces," explained Paul.
"It means I will remember to gift aid again my contributions
towards this charity and look forward to their e-mail in future) and
the town hall when the time comes."
