Gift Aid is a scheme that helps charities of all sizes in the UK boost their fundraising. For every donation made, an extra 25% can be claimed back by the charity from HMRC. However, in order for a donor to claim Gift Aid, the donor must: Be a UK taxpaer Have paid at least as much in Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in that year as they want to claim in Gift Aid. Make a Gift Aid declaration that gives us permission to claim it. This gift aid declaration will appear automatically when someone makes a donation on our website. For any fundraising events where you are expecting some cash donations, you can also download our Gift Aid form from our Fundraising Toolkit page. Manage Cookie Preferences
