Sports Testimonials

Plummer Parsons have worked with many local sports clubs and sporting bodies - below are some quotes:

"As a thriving rugby club with a large junior section, we've been registered as a CASC for several years. I took over as Registration and Membership Secretary last season and decided it was about time we began to utilise Gift Aid. Not really knowing where to start, I found Plummer Parsons who specialise in maximising Gift Aid. We purchased the Gift Aid pack and have found it to be very comprehensive giving you all the information you need to start on the road to making a claim. I have had several queries regarding our first claim and the ongoing service provided has been fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend Plummer Parson's Maximising Gift Aid Pack to any club who would like to start claiming Gift Aid."
Helen Brown, Registration and membership secretary, Longlevens RFC, GLOUCESTERSHIRE

"On behalf of the Bury Council Sport and Physical Activity Service I would like to say thank you for attending our first club and coach symposium last month. We have been gathering feedback from the event and the results have been very positive. The clubs, coaches and volunteers were very impressed with your presentation and have mentioned they will be discussing it in more depth at their committee meetings."
Zoe Fernandez, Club Development Officer, BURY

"Phil Harper from Plummer Parsons has now presented to 3 of our Area Cricket Associations and on each occasion the response from the attendees was very positive. The focus of the presentation was Community Amateur Sports Club status (CASC), and although some clubs already had the status, Plummer Parsons provided a valuable insight into how to reap optimum benefits from having the status. What was particularly useful was Phil’s ability to align some of the processes and “maths” to a cricketing context. I am already aware of some clubs who are intending on applying for the status as a result of the information provided. All in all, the Sussex Cricket Board is very grateful for their attendance at evenings that were designed to offer some support to cricket clubs in these challenging financial times. I would encourage other sporting bodies to do the same."
Tim Shutt, Cricket Development Manager, Sussex Cricket Board, HOVE

"We were very grateful for the help, advice and support given us to by Phil Harper of Plummer Parsons in the process of obtaining our CASC registration."
Jacqueline Packham, Secretary, Willingdon Golf Club, EASTBOURNE

"Seaford RFC is only a small club and have little in the way of financial reserves and therefore every penny counts. Andrew Griffiths and Phil Harper of Plummer Parsons have helped us register not only as a CASC but to provide details on how we can also maximise our Gift Aid claims which will make a big difference to our finances. On behalf of Seaford RFC, I thank you for all your help with this."
Nicky Walker, Secretary, Seaford Rugby Club, SEAFORD

"Although we have been registered as a CASC for some time after contacting Phil Harper from Plummer Parsons he came and met with our club officials at one of our coaching evenings and explained how the club had not been utilising Gift Aid to our advantage. It is clear that after speaking to him and purchasing one of Plummer Parsons ‘Maximising Gift Aid’ packs the club will be able to make significant Gift Aid repayments each year."
Carol Comber, Sussex Springers Trampoline Club, BURGESS HILL

"We have appointed Plummer Parsons as our accountants because of their CASC specialism. We are keen to work with Neville Beckhurst and the rest of the CASC team in the future as it is clear the club will be able to increase our income through their Gift Aid schemes."
Sasha Hunt, Heathfield & Waldron Rugby Club, HEATHFIELD

"Phil as our Treasurer registered our club as a CASC back in 2005 and since then it has been hugely beneficial to us and enabled the club to invest the extra funding into improving our facilities. The club has had over £2,500 in Gift Aid repayments and by implementing all the Maximising Gift Aid schemes the club will be aiming for £1,000 of Gift Aid repayments each year."
Roger Martin, Chairman, Glynde & Beddingham CC, GLYNDE

"MSC approached Plummer Parsons for professional advice when looking to apply for CASC status. Plummer Parsons' expertise in this area saved MSC significant time and allowed us to reap tax benefits and gift aid payments much sooner than we could have done without their help. Their advice was accurate and professional and attendance at our EGM to help field questions from members was invaluable. I would recommend other club's in the same position to engage with Plummer Parsons."
Andrew Brown, Treasurer, Monton Sports Club, MANCHESTER
