Gift Aid is a scheme that allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. You can find out more by visiting the government website here.
If you are fundraising through JustGiving, your friends and family will have the chance to make a Gift Aid declaration when they are making their donation.
If you are fundraising offline, you will need to ask each individual sponsor to complete a Gift Aid declaration and record how much they are donating. The easiest way to do this is to download a Tree Aid sponsorship form here.
You are still able to send in one cheque that covers multiple donations as long as you include a copy of the sponsorship forms you have completed.
