| Private taxpayers are able to Gift Aid their charitable
donations. To qualify for Gift Aid, the donation must be paid
by a private individual who pays enough UK Income tax and / or
capital gains tax to cover the amount of tax the charity will
reclaim. Gift Aid does not cost you a thing.
- The charity or Community
Amateur Sports Club (CASC) will reclaim 28p of tax on every £1 you
gave up to 5 April 2008.
- The charity or CASC will
reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 you give on or after 6 April
2008.
- The Government will pay to the
charity or CASC an additional 3p on every £1 you give between 6
April 2008 and 5 April 2011. This transitional relief for the
charity or CASC does not affect your personal tax
position.

If you pay income tax at the higher rate, you must include all your
Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return if you want
to receive the additional tax relief due to you.
All you need to do is complete the
simple Gift Aid Form on this site.
The minimum eligible donation is £1.
Gift Aid can not be claimed on charitable payments made as part of
entry into a raffle or prize draw or for the purchased of a product
or service. Only pure donations are eligible for Gift Aid.
