What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a government scheme that means charities can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give.

Example

Using Gift Aid for your donation will increase the amount SignHealth receives, at no extra cost to you. ​

£5 + Gift Aid = SignHealth receives £6.25​

£10 + Gift Aid = SignHealth receives £12.50​

£20 + Gift Aid = SignHealth receives £25.​

You can Gift Aid if: ​

  • You’re a UK taxpayer​
  • The money you donate belongs to you​
  • You are not getting any reward for your donation (e.g. a raffle or ticket).​

It does not cost you anything to sign up to Gift Aid. This is because as a UK taxpayer, you have already paid tax on the money you are donating. Once we receive your donation, we get the 25p for every £1 sent to us from HMRC.​
