Gift Aid is an arrangement that allows charities to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer, which means your donations will be worth 25% more to us at no extra cost to you!
Meaning an additional £12.50 could be added to a £50 donation!
It can only be claimed when the donor is a UK taxpayer and is donating from their own funds. If the donor pays less Income Tax and/ or Capital Gains Tax in that tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all their donations; it will be their responsibility to pay the difference.
With children's endless energy and the determination of supporters like you, we're helping create a fairer world. In the UK and around the world, we make sure children keep safe, healthy and learning. With children, for children, we change the future for good.
Together we power possible. Discover more about what we do here.
