Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a scheme available to charities which enables them to claim extra money from HMRC.
The charity can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That’s as long as you’ve paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, so you can give even more to the causes you care about.
Please contact janine@glencraig.org.uk for further information.
