Gift Aid

Gift Aid provides an opportunity for donors to increase the value of their donations to charity. Provided they are taxpayers, the charity can reclaim from the Inland Revenue the basic rate tax paid on their gifts. this increases the donation by 28%. So a donation of £10 from you is worth £12.80 to the charity

All we need is a simple declaration specifying that you want to use Gift Aid. A declaration can cover one or more donations, and it can be made in the following formats:

• A written declaration made by the donor or a ticked box confirmation by the donor that they wish Gift Aid to apply to the donation.
• A recording of the making of a declaration by the donor or a recording of the donor confirming a declaration where the declaration is pre-recorded by the charity.
• A computer record of a declaration template filled in by the donor and containing a link to the donors banking details, an e-mailed copy of a declaration.
• A computer 'screen print' of the declaration sent to the charity.
• A scanned image of a declaration.
• A copy of a mobile phone text message confirmation of a declaration.

A declaration form can be found here. If you want to give a donation to the band simply print it off and fill in the form, no signature is required. They are also available from any senior band members.
