How Gift Aid works.
Gift Aid is a government scheme which lets us claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. Or if you’re donating items, we can claim an extra 25% on top of the price it sells for in our shops.
Once you’ve signed up to Gift Aid, we claim the tax back on your donation. It does not cost you anything to sign up to Gift Aid.
How Gift Aid Helps
The Gift Aid scheme helps raise even more money for our research. For example, if someone donated £400 to us, we could claim an extra £100 in Gift Aid.
Gift Aid can be applied to all voluntary donations of money, large or small, providing they are made by an individual who pays sufficient UK tax.
Your declaration will cover all cash, cheque, postal order, Direct Debit, standing order and credit or debit card donations.
It will not be applied to donations received from tax efficient payment schemes. These include Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) payments or payroll gifts, as tax relief has already been claimed.

More details
You can Gift Aid donations if you pay income tax or capital gains tax providing you have paid enough tax during the year to cover the amount we reclaim on your donations.
If you live on your pension alone and do not pay tax you will not be eligible for Gift Aid.
If you pay a higher rate of tax (40% or above) you can claim the difference between the higher and basic rate on the total value of your donation.
