Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme which allows charities to claim 25p for every £1 they receive in donations. 

This means that if you are a UK taxpayer and make a Gift Aid declaration, Stratford East can claim Gift Aid on your donations and get 25% more funding, at no extra cost to you! 

If you have not already done so, please consider signing a Gift Aid declaration and making your gift go even further. You can do so in your account or by emailing it to development@stratfordeast.com 

By signing up to Gift Aid you confirm that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference. 

Please notify us if you:  

• Want to cancel this declaration 

• Change your name or home address 

• No longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains 

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate, you may be able to claim tax relief on your donations. If you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
