getting started

If you simply need a sponsor form or would like some support with online donation pages e.g. JustGiving, our team can guide you through all of this.

Don’t forget that personal donations can also be Gift aided, enabling us to claim a further 25p per £1 donated at no extra cost to the person donating.

To claim Gift Aid on your donation, the charity will ask you to complete a Gift Aid Declaration Form. This requires:

• Your name and address

• You to declare that you pay tax in the UK of an amount at least equal to the donation you are making (those who pay no tax shouldn’t use the Gift Aid scheme)

• Your signature (or a box ticked if it’s online) and the date
