We've been discussing just that in the office - however, the general
profile of donations to WMUK means that we're not really affected by the
cap on charitable giving. The vast majority of people who donate give less
than £20 - there's just an awful lot of people who do so.

This reminds me on the recent proposals of the UK Government to put a cap
on charitable giving, that is to partially reduce some income tax (and
capital gains tax) liabilities. It would appear that WMUK is more likely to
have small donations (plus Gift Aid) rather large donors in the higher tax
bracket.
