Implementing a Gift Aid scheme would enable Sheffield Yoga for ME/CFS to recover a further 25p for each £1.00 donated.
This can be achieved in two principal ways:
-
By inviting members to take out a regular direct debit from their bank account for any sum, and/or
-
By treating the voluntary contributions made at each yoga session as Gift Aid.
In order to achieve this the following requirements have to be met:
-
Each donor must be paying income tax at the standard rate of an amount at least equivalent to the amount of the tax to be recovered as Gift Aid.
-
If you wish to help us benefit from Gift Aid complete and send to Sheffield Yoga for ME/CFS a Gift Aid declaration form.
This is a simple, one page document, copies of which can be obtained from the HMRC website at
www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/appendix_b1.pdf,
or by request from
Sheffield Yoga for ME/CFS
[Note that references to CASC on the form simply means Community Amateur Sports Club, which is a particular species of charity.]
