All Donations are gratefully received whatever the amount. However we would like to emphasise that giving by Covenant or Gift Aid will increase the value of your gift by almost ONE THIRD as we are able to claim back the tax you have already paid*.
If you are prepared to commit a regular amount for at least 4 years, a gift that is worth over £130 per year to us need only cost you £8.33 per month. If you pay tax at 40% you may also claim back the additional tax you have paid. This would reduce the cost to less than £79 per year, or the equivalent of £6.58 per month.
Non-Tax payers should simply complete the accompanying Donation Form.
I wish to make a regular donation by Standing Order or by Direct Debit
If you are not able to commit a regular amount, do please consider making your donation tax effective through the Gift Aid scheme. The only requirement is that your donation should be at least £250. By making your donation by Gift Aid, a gift of £600 would be worth £789.48 to us. Individuals paying higher rate tax would be able to claim back the difference between the basic and higher rate tax bands, which would reduce the cost of their donation to £473.68. If your donation is at least £250, we will automatically send you a Gift Aid form.
I wish to make a one off donation.
Your employer may operate Give As You Earn, if so you can make a regular donation free of tax. Please ask your employer or ring Give as You Earn on (01732) 520021.
* This is applicable only to individuals who pay UK Income Tax. Gift Aid donors must also be resident in the UK. The Inland Revenue treats your donation as having been made out if income taxed at 24%
