What is Gift Aid?
• Gift Aid is a scheme run by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) that means charities like Prospect Hospice can reclaim the tax on your donations at no extra cost to you. • This means all your donations will be worth 25% more to us. So if your donations sell for £10, we will actually receive £12.50.
