What is Gift Aid?

Under the Government's Gift Aid Scheme, if you are a UK taxpayer WCRF UK will receive nearly a third extra on all donations you make. The scheme, set up in April 2000, means that if you are a UK taxpayer any donation you make to WCRF UK upon which tax has been paid can be worth more to us. For example, if you give £10 to WCRF UK and Gift Aid your donation, we will receive £2.80 from the Inland Revenue at no extra cost to you. If you would like to make a Gift Aid Declaration, please contact our Supporter Services team on Freephone 0800 970 1461.
