Important Fundraising Information

If you are a UK Taxpayer, Gift Aid can increase the value of your donaition. The Inland Revenue treat donations to Rethink as if the donor has already had tax dedcucted at the basic rate. We can then claim this tax to increase the value of the donation. You must be a UK taxpayer for us to be able to claim and complete a Gift Aid declaration.
If you have already made a donation to Rethink and are unsure if you have completed a declaration, please contact us to request th eform. We can backdate the claims for four years, so it is always worth signing the declaration saying you are a UK taxpayer.
