Gift Aid your shop donation
Following a recent change in legislation, IRHH can now reclaim 25% Gift Aid not only on cash donations, but also on the proceeds of the sale of donated goods. IRHH was among the first hospice charities to introduce the system.
How does it work?
- If you are a UK taxpayer and bring a donation of goods into any of our shops you will be given the opportunity to gift aid your donation
- We will ask you to sign a simple declaration form and we will give you your personal gift aid card. The form can be downloaded here, so you can save time by taking it with you
- We will then carefully track your goods through to the point of sale, and when they have been sold we will inform you of the amount raised and check that you are happy for us to reclaim the Gift Aid.
- Once a quarter (on average) we will submit a Gift Aid reclaim to HMRC
The Result
IRHH will be able to benefit to the tune of an extra 25% on the sale of every Gift Aided item. For example if we sell an item for £5.00 the end value will be £6.25. In these uncertain times, this opportunity is too good to miss!
Please ask about the scheme when you next visit one of our shops.
