WHAT IS GIFT AID?
Under the Gift Aid scheme, we can reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
We are not permitted to reclaim Gift Aid on donations made in return for goods, rights and services (eg tickets to events, raffles or auctions), as they are not 'freewill' gifts. If we decide a donation has been marked as 'Gift Aidable' incorrectly, we will need to refund it to the donor.
When you donate, you will be asked to confirm whether or not you are a UK taxpayer. Please note that tax can only be reclaimed on donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year. If you are not a UK taxpayer, you can still make a donation, but your donation will not attract Gift Aid.
