GIFT AID

Gift Aid is a Government scheme that allows charities to claim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation. For example, if you donate £100 with Gift Aid, the charity will receive £125. This means the Sanctuary can raise more funds at no extra cost to you.

Gift Aid is a Government scheme that allows charities to claim an extra 25% on every donation made by a U.K. tax payer. 

This is amazing!

It can be a huge job to collate all of the information annually of each person who has sent us a donation or sponsored a horse and submit it to HMRC. So that’s why we are in partnership with a company called “Enthuse”.

Enthuse are a great platform that process all of our donations and sponsors for us. Then THEY submit the necessary information to HMRC on our behalf. HMRC then sends us the 25% additional income we are eligible for each month.

This is why we favour lovely people donating and sponsoring through our website. As Enthuse do all the work for us. It’s great!

For example, if you donate £10 to us via our website, with Gift Aid, we will receive another £2.50. If you donate £100 to us, we receive an extra £25.

At no cost to you at all.

It’s just brilliant!

To be eligible for us to claim Gift Aid you just need to be a U.K. tax payer.

For anyone who doesn’t send donations or sponsorships via our website and Enthuse, and perhaps give us a cheque or a bank transfer we simply need your full name and address and confirmation that  you are a U.K. taxpayer and we can then write to HMRC to claim the 25% ourselves. 

(Please note that when companies send us donations these are not eligible for Gift Aid. Instead the company can claim charitable donations as a legitimate taxable expense to HMRC)

Thank you for supporting us this way.
