a gift too good to refuse!

Did you know you can make your donations go 25% further?

If you are a UK tax payer, we can claim an extra 25p from HRMC on every £1 you donate to The Courtyard. As a registered charity it’s a valuable source of income and comes at no extra cost to you. The other thing is it’s really easy to do! There is only one condition: the annual value of the gift aided amounts you make to charity doesn’t exceed the tax you pay.

Over 4,500 people have given us gift aided donations over the last few years. In the financial year just prior to the pandemic we raised more than £18,000 in Gift Aid. It’s a vital income stream in addition to all our other fundraising.

If you are eligible for Gift Aid but haven’t yet filled in a form, we’d be grateful if you could think about completing the simple declaration. Your already generous support for The Courtyard will go so much further. You can download a form from our website or paper copies are available from the Box Office during opening hours. There is also the option to make an online declaration if you use our website. When making your declaration, you can include all the donations you have made to us in the last four years. This will help us to claim even more money back from the government. Don’t forget that if you pay income tax at the higher rate (40%), you can claim further tax relief on your own tax returns.
