How Gift Aid helps more people receive care from Farleigh

Donate here

Every day, people across mid Essex rely on Farleigh Hospice for specialist care and support.

Gift Aid is one of the simplest ways supporters can make their donation go further, at no extra cost to themselves.

When someone chooses to #TickTheBox, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated. It is a small step at the point of donation, but one that makes a meaningful difference to the care we are able to provide.

Each year, around £560 million in Gift Aid goes unclaimed across the UK. This represents a significant missed opportunity to fund vital charitable services in communities across the country.

At Farleigh Hospice, Gift Aid plays an important role in helping us make the most of every donation we receive. It supports care for people across mid Essex who are living with life-limiting illnesses, and their families.

With demand for hospice care continuing to grow, ensuring we can maximise every donation has never been more important.

Jenny Danson, Director of Income Generation here at Farleigh Hospice shares,

“Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways our supporters can make an even bigger difference at no extra cost to themselves. By simply ticking a box, eligible donations and donated goods can generate valuable additional income for Farleigh Hospice, helping us provide vital care and support to local people and their families. On Gift Aid Awareness Day, I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who chooses to Gift Aid their donations. It’s a simple action that has a lasting impact.”

Gift Aid is a simple step, but one that helps ensure more of every donation is used to provide care where it is needed most.

To everyone who already chooses to Gift Aid their donation, thank you. Your support helps us reach more people and continue delivering compassionate care at the heart of our community.

If you are donating in the future, please remember to #TickTheBox. It costs you nothing, but it helps us do so much more.
