Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Mind BLMK to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Mind BLMK we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Mind BLMK 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 Mind BLMK 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 Mind BLMK 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.

Thank you Steph, you are roar-some! We want to say a huge thank you to Steph, one of our incredible fundraisers who took part in our 'Mile a Day for Mind BLMK' challenge back in January - wearing this absolutely fantastic T-Rex suit. Steph absolutely smashed her original target of £350 and raised over £800 towards our work and for that we are entirely grateful. Thanks to Steph and all of our fantastic fundraisers, without your support we wouldn't be able to provide our key services across our local communities. If you would like to support our work and fundraise for Mind BLMK, please take a look at our website - www.mind-blmk.org.uk/support-us/fundraising/ or email: [email protected] ... See MoreSee Less

This past year has meant that we've all had to adapt to a significant amount of change, which can feel really unsettling, particularly when you're also struggling with your mental health. At Mind BLMK, we've recognised these challenges and thanks to the support of our fantastic counsellors, peer mentors and support workers, it has meant that we have been able to adapt to these new changes and look at new ways to function and operate as a charity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀As we move forward and transition back into face to face services, our main focus will be to ensure that all of our service users feel as safe and as comfortable as possible and know that we're here to support you.If you want to find out more about our work locally or would like to get support today, please kindly fill out our online self-referral form www.mind-blmk.org.uk or email: [email protected]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#wearehereforyou #mentalhealth #support ...
