On the 15th December the country will celebrate the second Local Charities Day highlighting the fantastic work of small, local charities.</p><p> </p><p>Smaller charities will also benefit from recent changes to the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) that allows eligible charities and community amateur sports clubs to claim top-up payments on small donations made by cash or contactless technology of £20 or less. The rules were simplified and the maximum annual donation GASDS limit was increased to £8,000, allowing charities to now claim up to £2,000 per year in payments.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 12/10/2017 14:10:36 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
