It won’t cost you anything but will mean the world to us. All you need to do is tick the box.
By selecting ‘yes’ you agree to the following statement: I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
