Gift Aid · Separate from payment

Let your gift go further.

If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid lets the church claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give, at no extra cost to you. An eligible £25 gift becomes £31.25. This form does not take a payment; it gives the charity permission to claim on a gift you have already made.

Your declaration

THE LIGHT'S HOUSE · Registered charity 1212146

I want to Gift Aid this donation to THE LIGHT'S HOUSE. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. This declaration covers only the donation identified by the date, amount and payment reference on this form; it does not cover other past or future donations.

I have read the declaration above and agree to it for the identified donation.

Gift Aid is optional. Please notify finance if your name or home address changes, you want to cancel your declaration, or you no longer pay sufficient UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax.

Read the Gift Aid privacy and retention notice below. This form does not make a donation or authorise a payment.

How your declaration is handled

Your declaration is stored securely in the church's database. Your name, address, optional email and donation details are encrypted, and the exact declaration wording, version and time you agreed are kept as a record. Only authorised finance staff can view declarations, and every access is logged. We will not use these details for marketing.

HMRC requires Gift Aid declarations to be kept for six years after the most recent donation on which Gift Aid was claimed, so we retain your record for that period.

To correct your details, cancel your declaration or ask about your record, contact finance@thelightshouse.org with your declaration reference. Please do not send bank or card details by email.
