A
great way to make sure that your gift will go even further is
to consider completing a Gift Aid Declaration.
Gift Aid applies to tax payers only and is extremely beneficial
to the Charity as we can claim an additional 28% from the Inland
Revenue for each of your donations under the scheme.
The scheme is very simple to operate in that you only need
to complete a declaration once for all your donations, and
leave the rest to us. If you are thinking of donating by sponsoring
a child or granny or by giving thorough our gift certificate
scheme or as a one-off gift you will find the necessary declarations
for printing and forwarding to us on those pages.
In 2003 we were able to recover
more than £13,500 through the Gift Aid scheme,
which has made a great difference to the number of projects
we have been able to run and children supported.
If you have any query on how this scheme works please do
not hesitate to contact our Treasuer Mike Collett or check
the Inland Revenue web site. If you are a higher rate tax
payer you may also be able to claim additional tax relief
yourself.
