– Gift Aid amount that a charity can claim on a £10 donation: £2.50

So why wait text now to 70085 followed by £1, £2, £3, £4, £5, £10 or £20

After making your donation you will be texted back to ask if you are willing to Gift Aid your donation, this allows us to recover the value of 25% of your donation back from HMRC so if you meet the criteria below please agree it will cost you nothing and increase your donation to us by 25%.
