Gift Aid

Gift Aid allows the Friends to claim back the tax already paid by yourself on the income you have earnt. This means we can claim back from the government on your behalf 25p for every £1 donated, boosting the value of your donation by a quarter.

HMRC regulations mean that we cannot reclaim a Gift Aid on a donation if you tells us -

  • the donation was on behalf of someone else or a group of people.
  • the donation was on behalf of a company.
  • the donation was to a family member or friend doing an event where the charity is contributing to their costs.
  • the donation was made in return for goods‚ rights or services.

A question we are often asked‚ is what if a mistake was made when making the gift aid donation and it cannot been claimed. We check and ask everyone making a donation a number of questions to find out if their donation is eligible for Gift Aid, but sometimes mistakes happen. Once a donation has been made it is not possible to make a claim or change the Gift Aid. On this website is a Gift Aid Form which is easy to use and then send to us.   [ here ]
