"Please find enclosed our order for GATSBULK. We've been very pleased with the Gift Aid system and would be grateful if you will keep us informed of significant upgrades." A Children's Hospice
"Many thanks for emailing the software out last Friday. Excellent little program and one that will save us a lot of time. Thanks for the good service." A Church Treasurer

"I use both GATS and GATSBULK in my capacity as Accountant for a Children's Hospice and as Treasurer for my local church. I have found both systems excellent and very easy to use. They have certainly simplified the recovery of tax enormously....I am pleased that you are inviting suggestions from customers and I hope my contribution has been helpful. As I have already said, I am very happy with your systems and I think they are a great credit to Cleaford Services - well done."
"All charities should think seriously about a computerised Gift Aid system.............There are Gift Aid computer packages on the market. The quality in some cases is suspect but there are good systems available. In particular, any charity thinking of installing Gift Aid software should give serious consideration to the GATS software produced by Cleaford Services. Charity clients of my firm who are using this package speak highly of it. It is user friendly and maintains all the necessary records. The company are providing first class support ...."
