Gift Aid

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme that allows charities like ACWW to claim the tax you have already paid on your donations back from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

To qualify for Gift Aid you must be a UK tax payer, paying income tax or capital gains tax equal to the amount that we will claim (currently 25p on every £1). Even if you are retired or not currently working, you might still qualify as you may pay tax in one way or another – possibly on your savings or through your pension.

If it is applicable to you, please download and complete the form and return it to Central Office. Thank you for the support you have given to this organisation over the years.
