This course will pay for itself by either the amounts you can claim that you didn't know about or by saving you from failing an audit (and being fined) as you'll be able to make sure you're not breaking any rules. The course presenter is a legend!” Delegate, Oct 2019

Really glad I went on the course now and feel well-equipped to move our charity forwards to a position where we can make Gift Aid claims effectively and confidently.” Delegate, October 2019
