Learn how you can boost your donation by applying Gift Aid. Understand what is it and how it's applied to maximise your impact.
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.
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.
