Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to any UK charity.

It is a scheme administered by the Inland Revenue which allows us to claim 25p for every £1 that you donate. So, for example, if you donate £20 we can claim an extra £5, making your kind gift worth £25.

And best of all, it doesn’t cost you a thing – all you need to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration!
