Gift Aid

Gift Aid Your Donation

If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways to increase your impact. 

It allows HHUGS to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no extra cost to you. 

That means a £20 donation becomes £25, simply by ticking a box. 

Can I Gift Aid my donation? 

Yes  you can Gift Aid if: 

  • You are a UK taxpayer 
  • You pay Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax 
  • The tax you pay this tax year is at least equal to the Gift Aid claimed on your donations 
  • You provide your full name and home address (including postcode) 


If you’re not a UK taxpayer, you can still donate – just don’t Gift Aid. 

Gift Aid Declaration 

Please read the declaration below and choose the option that suits you best. 

Option 1: One-off donation 

Gift Aid declaration (single donation) 

I want to Gift Aid my donation of £____ to HHUGS. 

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. 

Option 2: Past and future donations (recommended) 

Gift Aid declaration (multiple donations) 

I want to Gift Aid my donation of £____ and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past four years to HHUGS. 

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. 

Choosing this option means you won’t need to tick Gift Aid again next time.
