Retail Gift Aid: Help Us Claim 25% More at No Extra Cost to You
Did you know that when you donate goods to our shops, we can claim Gift Aid on the money raised from selling them?
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities like us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 we make from selling your donated items, at no extra cost to you. If you’re a UK taxpayer, it means your donations can go even further to support our vital care.
The Impact of Gift Aid
In the 2024/2025 financial year alone, retail Gift Aid helped us raise an additional £168,578, that’s enough to fund 7,914 hours of specialist nursing care for our patients and their families, or could pay to run our In-Patient Unit for 43 days!
Am I Eligible?
You’re eligible to sign up for Gift Aid if you’re a UK taxpayer and pay enough income or capital gains tax to cover the amount we’ll claim on your behalf in the tax year.
How Do I Sign Up?
It’s simple. Just ask for a Gift Aid form next time you donate items at one of our shops or at the Donation Centre. Once registered, you’ll receive a unique donor ID and we’ll track the sales from your donations, all you need to do is keep donating!

Make a difference today
As soon as we came to the Hospice, we felt safe. All the staff were so comforting, the care was immediate, and they always spoke to him, never about him or just about his illness. They even have a designated conservatory area for children, and our son could visit whenever, and however long he liked.
