Gift AidThis is a means whereby charities can claim from the Inland Revenue, an additional 28p for every £1 donated, provided the donor is a UK tax payer and pays more in tax than the amount of the donation. There is no additional cost to you. All we need is a statement confirming the above, and your address.Unlike the old system of Covenants, there is no expiry date and any further donations you make, will be covered by the declaration. This relates to all donations made since 2000. Use the upper half of this form. Download the Gift Aid form here.Payroll givingThis is easily arranged through your employer. Your donation is deducted from the gross amount of your regular salary, which means it is deducted before your tax is calculated, so you pay less in tax.If your employer doesn't already operate this scheme, they can contact: Charities Aid Foundation, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4TA 01732 520000 or visit the website www.allaboutgiving.org/giveasyouearn/uk Thank you. LegacyBy making a bequest to us in your will, you will be helping us to carry on our work in your memory.The amount you bequest will not be subject to tax, therefore it will reduce the overall amount of your taxable estate. If you would like more information on making a will and the benefits of leaving money to charity, you can visit www.rememberacharity.org.uk or contact the CHECT office for a leaflet. fiona.heath@chect.org.uk 020 7377 5578. If you do make a bequest, it would be very helpful to know how much you intend to leave. Thank you. In Memorium GivingIn memorium giving - donations in lieu of flowers. This can be through the funeral directors and/or include a retiring collection. All donations would be very much appreciated and letters of thanks sent to donors and/or family members.Alternatively an in memorium page can be created on justgiving or other tribute giving websites where photographs of loved ones can be uploaded and memories posted. Steve Callaghan's family set up a page in his memory. www.justgiving.com/callagas Steve's family believe the page is a fitting tribute to his memory.
