Gift Aid

Make your donation worth a quarter more with Gift Aid Declaration - enabling us to claim tax back from the government.

Gift Aid is a government scheme which enables registered charities in the United Kingdom to claim the tax back from the Inland Revenue on donations.

If you choose to donate through our online partner Justgiving you will automatically be asked whether or not you wish to Gift Aid your donation, and you do not need to complete a separate Gift Aid form.

How it works

If you are currently a UK taxpayer, and you fill out a Gift Aid declaration when you make a donation we can claim back 25p in every £1 that you donate. If you are a higher rate taxpayer you can claim further tax relief on your Self-Assessment form.

Once you have signed your Gift Aid Declaration it is valid for all gifts in the future and for any gifts you have made to us in the six years prior to signing the declaration. It will be effective as long as you pay UK income and/or capital gains tax equal to or greater than the tax paid on your donation.

You can make a declaration and join the scheme by post, email or you can call UKSA Finance on 01983 203035 to make a declaration. You will have 30 days to cancel, if necessary, before a claim is made. You are able to cancel at any time after that, should your circumstances change.

You must keep the charity informed of any changes in your tax status and changes of name and/or address.
