Gift Aid Scheme
If you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your gift can be increased under the Gift Aid scheme. Currently any donation made under the Gift Aid scheme is worth an additional 25% - so for every £10 donated The Children's Trust receives £12.50.
Your questions answered
If you are a UK taxpayer we can claim back the tax on your donation, from the Inland Revenue on your behalf – all you have to do is tick the box to indicate that your donation can be Gift Aided.
Please note: if you pay less Income and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations it will be your responsibility to pay any difference
