Hi Chris, if I remember rightly that&#39;s about half our annual target - are we halfway or more into the campaign?<br><br><br>Re the Direct debits we seem to only be  valuing them as one years donations, it might be worth putting a higher notional value n them as the average new direct debit is multi year income.<br>
<br>Gift Aid of less than 10% is disappointing, I estimate that as only half the signups that we should be getting. Might be worth testing some different mechanics and wording there.<br><br>WSC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
