Gift Aid
We’re a charity and if you are a UK taxpayer and provide us with a Gift Aid declaration, we can reclaim the tax from the Government. That’s 25p for every £1 you have already paid on your membership subscriptions. If all our members agreed to Gift Aid we can claim vital extra funds that help us fund the group.
More about Gift Aid
- We can reclaim an extra 25 per cent of your membership subscriptions and/or donations
- Anyone who is a UK income or capital gains taxpayer can make a Gift Aid declaration – you just need to pay enough tax to cover all your donations to charity
- One Gift Aid declaration covers your current and future membership subscriptions and/or donations. An option is also available to backdate your Gift Aid contribution for up to four years
- Gift Aid is not a method of payment, so you still pay your membership subscriptions in the usual way
- You can cancel or amend your Gift Aid declaration at any time simply by contacting your Leader.
You need to make a Gift Aid declaration for us to claim. You can include all subscriptions and/or donations from the last 4 years. Please tell us about any tax years where you didn’t pay enough tax.
Your subscriptions and/or donations will qualify as long as they’re not more than 4 times what you have paid in tax in that tax year (6 April to 5 April).
The tax could have been paid on income or capital gains. You must tell us if you stop paying enough tax.
Please download and complete the declaration below and return it to us.
