Stephen Bubb, chief executive of ACEVO has responded to a letter on Gift Aid from Ian Pearson MP, economic secretary to the Treasury welcoming what he hopes will be 'concrete proposals for reform' presented in their next meeting.
In the letter Bubb expresses the vital need for immediate action following the announcement in the pre budget report, of the rise in national insurance which will put added pressure on charities.
He stresses that the reform of Gift Aid is vital to enabling the charity sector to continue playing its important role in combating the social consequences of the recession.
Speaking on the letter Stephen Bubb said: "Following the glacial pace developments on Gift Aid have taken over the past two years, we look forward to seeing concrete proposals for reform in our next meeting. After this next meeting we either stop, or we see real steps taken."
