Gift Aid
If you make monetary donations to support our work and are a UK taxpayer, register for Gift Aid and we will receive an extra 25p for every £1 you donate at no cost to you!
Gift Aid is a vital scheme for UK charities, allowing them to maximise the impact of donations without any additional cost to the donor.
When a taxpayer consents to Gift Aid, the charity can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated. This means that a £10 donation instantly becomes £12.50, significantly increasing the value of contributions. For charities like ours, this additional income makes a substantial difference, enabling us to fund more projects, reach more people, and provide greater support to the animals in our care.
Encouraging supporters to complete a Gift Aid consent form is crucial for us to fully benefit from the generosity of our donors. Without this consent, we miss out on these valuable extra funds, which form a significant portion of our income. For donors, completing the form is a simple yet powerful way to enhance the effectiveness of your contributions, knowing that your support goes even further in making a difference.
By taking a moment to fill out the Gift Aid form, you can help us achieve more without spending an extra penny, making your donation stretch further to support the vulnerable cats, dogs and small animals at Cheltenham Animal Shelter.
