Donation To Beacon

We have been helping people with sight loss to live fuller, more independent lives for more than 145 years, but we have never need your support more. 

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic means we have lost more than £682,000 and sadly we expect that figure to grow in the coming months. 

Our supporters make the difference to our charity every step of the way, whether they volunteer for us, give to our shops, donate funds or support our activities.

It helps us ensure that no one is left feeling alone because of their sight loss. 

Whether it’s a one off donation, regular giving or Give As You Earn schemes or getting involved in fundraising through work, school or a community group, any help and support would be warmly welcomed.

Thank you for your support.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Beacon Centre for the Blind to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I 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 I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Beacon Centre for the Blind will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Beacon Centre for the Blind receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
