"GIFT AID" ENHANCEMENT

Add 28% to your sponsorship money, at no extra cost to you or your sponsor, effectively through income tax recovery. It would be unethical for sponsors to first pay tax on their income before making a donation to a registered charity! eg earn £125 to give £100. Ie. Chancellor of the Exchequer pockets £25.

This is recognised by the Chancellor and so he allows registered charities to reclaim the tax on the sponsor's donation - thereby giving the donation an extra boost! This is called the "Gift Aid" scheme.

But don't worry - we will effectively reclaim all this money on your behalf as long as your sponsors have done the following:

Off-line method (paper based): Ticked the Box, Added their Postcode, Signed and Dated your Ride and Stride Application form.

On-line, internet method (JustGiving): Ticked the box on their screen (your sponsor will already have identified themselves).

IT IS SO EASY TO DO.       IT BOOSTS DONATIONS BY 28%.      JUST DO IT!
