Did you know that gift aiding your donated items can generate an additional 25% in income for us?
Gift Aid is a government scheme which allows UK taxpayers to top up their charitable donations by 25% from the income tax they pay each year.
If we can sell your donated items and raise £100 then the government will give us an additional £25 which will help to provide care and support our patients and their families.
How to register
Registration is quick and simple and free. Every time you donate, ask any member of staff or volunteer when you next bring your things to us, they will be happy to help.
If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid can apply to the items you donate. If you say ‘Yes’ to Gift Aid, we can receive an additional 25% on the value of sold items from HMRC.
