Gift Aid

Gift Aid provides a great opportunity for you to increase the value of your donations to The Countess of Brecknock Hospice at no cost to you!

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a tax relief scheme that allows charities to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer, meaning your donations will be worth 25% more to us. For every pound that you give as a UK taxpayer, we receive an extra 25 pence from the Inland Revenue, making an enormous difference to the patients and families we support.

How do we claim Gift Aid?

There are two ways we can claim Gift Aid.

The first option is for you to tick the box on our appeal mailings, or on the form on our website when you make a donation, and we’ll do the rest! Alternatively, you can complete the Gift Aid declaration below. We can then claim Gift Aid for any donations you have made in the last four years and all future donations. 

A few important points to remember

• Gift Aid is relevant to all UK taxpayers including pensioners. If you pay tax at higher rates, you can reclaim additional tax relief on your gross donation through your self-assessment tax form
• If you stop paying tax in the UK you must tell us.
• If you change your name and address please tell us so that we can update our records.
• We can’t claim Gift Aid for donations raised in return for tickets from events, raffles, auctions or for goods and services.
• We also can’t claim if you are making a donation on behalf of someone else or a group.
• You can cancel your declaration at any time by notifying us either in writing or by telephone. We will then not claim Gift Aid on any donations you make on or after the date of cancellation.
