You can help us, without it costing you a penny!
2nd Beeston Sea Scouts are able to claim Gift Aid on any monies paid or donated by you. This includes things like the membership fees (Subs) that are paid for Scouts. Gift Aid is free money the group can claim towards the cost of things like new equipment for your Scout to use. The scheme could be worth thousands of pounds of free funds annually which would hugely benefit the group.
WHAT IS GIFT AID?
Gift aid is a simple way for any charity to increase the value of gifts of money received from UK taxpayers.
HOW DOES GIFT AID WORK?
When a UK taxpayer gives money to a charity such as 2nd Beeston Sea Scouts, tax has already been paid on that money. This amount qualifies for Gift Aid.
Because the Group is exempt from tax, an amount equal to the tax paid, can be claimed as a repayment from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
HOW MUCH IS GIFT AID WORTH?
Gift Aid allows a claim back of 25p for every £1 you give to the Group, boosting the value of your donation by a quarter. All that is needed is for your permission to reclaim the tax you have paid to HMRC.
