At RCH, every penny we receive makes a difference. As a charity, we rely on the kindness and generosity of our community to keep our doors open, run vital services, and provide a welcoming space for all.
One simple way you can help us go even further is through Gift Aid.
💛 What is Gift Aid?
Gift aid is a government scheme that allows Charites like ours to reclaim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate – at no extra cost to you. That means if you give £10, we receive £12.50. over time, this makes a huge difference to the support we offer.
💛Who can use Gift Aid?
If you’re a UK taxpayer, all you need to do is fill in a short Gift Aid declaration form. This tells HMRC you’re happy for us to reclaim the tax you’ve already paid on your donation. It doesn’t cost you a penny more, but it helps us so much.
💛Why does it matter to Ripon Community House?
Every extra pound we receive through Gift Aid helps us to:
▪️Support the Food Bank
▪️Offer space for classes, groups, and community activities
▪️Provide Waste Not Wednesday meals
▪️Keep our hub open as a safe, welcoming place for all
💛How can I sign up?
Its simple! Just ask for a Gift Aid form next time you’re in – or even easier, download one directly from our website on the Food Support page. One form covers all future donations, so once you’ve signed up, you’ll be making every gift go further automatically.
✨Your generosity already helps us make a difference every day. With Gift Aid, together we can make that difference even greater.
