Gift Aid helps your donations go even further
Gift Aid allows us to claim back the basic tax rate paid on donations; including items donated for sale at our shops, boosting our income by 25%. So a donation worth £10.00 becomes £12.50 with Gift Aid. If you are a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid your donated items, please ask in our shops, or download our app below.
Download our app
The ‘My Charity Shop’ app allows you to carry your Gift Aid donor card with you on your phone, which we can scan in store when you donate items to us. The app tracks your donation history, so you can see how many bags of stock you have given, how much has been raised, and receive virtual awards. You can also print out bar codes to affix to your bags, ready to bring to us.
How to download
The app is compatible with both Apple and Android operating systems. To download it, click the button below or search for ‘My Charity Shop’ in your App or Play store.
