There are so many ways of supporting, but did you know sometimes it can be as simple as ticking a box?

Gift Aid is a Government scheme which allows charities like us to reclaim the basic rate of tax (20%) 25p from the Inland Revenue on every pound donated by UK taxpayers. And for the next 3 years the Government is adding an extra 3p on every £1 you give! This makes it more important then ever for our supporters to increase their donations through the Gift Aid scheme.

For example, on a £100 donation we are eligible for an additional £25 through reclaiming the basic tax relief and a £3 bonus, at no extra cost to us or you. To qualify for Gift Aid you need be a UK tax payer, paying tax either through your wage or salary via your yearly self-assessment form each year, or on any taxable savings, for example a pension plan.
