How it works
For every £1 you give to Help the Hospices, we can claim a further 28p from HM Revenue & Customs at no cost to you. So your donation of £10 would be worth £12.80 to us.
To let us claim the extra money all you have to do is fill in a Gift Aid declaration.

Government top-up scheme
From 6 April 2008 until 5 April 2011, HMRC will pay an addition top up payment of 3p for every £1 donation made under the Gift Aid scheme, making your £1 donation worth £1.28 to Help the Hospices. For more information on the top up scheme , please visit the HMRC website.

Help the Hospices can only claim Gift Aid directly at the basic rate of tax. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you will be able to claim a rebate based on the difference between the higher rate and the basic rate on your Self Assessment form.

On your Self Assessment form you can choose to nominate Help the Hospices to receive your rebate.
