A word about Gift Aid

If you are undertaking a sponsored event or carrying out a collection at an event, then it may be the case that some donations are eligible for Gift Aid. Gift Aid is a government scheme that means charities can reclaim 25% of the amount of a donation back from HMRC. If you or your supporters intend to Gift Aid any donations, please take a moment to read and ensure you understand our Gift Aid information and FAQs here.
