All donations are gratefully received whatever the amount, it does not matter how small it is.

Gift Aid/Covenant
Giving by Gift Aid or Covenant will increase the value of your gift by almost ONE THIRD as we are able to claim back the tax you have already paid.* This can be accomplished in either of the following ways, a one off donation or a regular payment.

Making a regular gift
If you are prepared to commit a regular amount for at least 4 years, a gift that is worth over £130 per year to us need only cost you £8.33 per month. If you pay tax at 40% you may also claim back the additional tax you have paid. This would reduce the cost to less than £79 per year, or the equivalent of £6.58 per month. Non-Tax payers should simply complete the accompanying

Making a one off donation
If you are not able to commit a regular amount, do please consider making your donation tax effective through the Gift Aid scheme. By making your donation by Gift Aid, a gift of £600 would be worth £789.48 to us. Individuals paying higher rate tax would be able to claim back the difference between the basic and higher rate tax bands, which would reduce the cost of their donation to £473.68.
