Give us the best of what you no longer use. And sign up to gift aid.
We were the first charity retailer to introduce tax efficient giving on donated items in our shops - and we've won awards for this innovation.
By applying the gift aid principle to donated goods, we have been able to increase their value by 25%.
This means that if we sold your dress for £5.00, we could reclaim an additional £1.25, raising a total of £6.25 to help people living with life-changing illness. That's almost one stress-relieving complementary therapy session for someone with cancer.
Gift aid is a really simple way of raising extra money to support our health and social care work.
How do I sign up?
All you need to do is sign our gift aid declaration form when you bring your donation to one of our shops.
At the shop a member of staff will process your completed gift aid declaration form and issue you with a unique Donor ID number on your gift aid donor ID card. Simply present the card on subsequent visits to any of our shops across the country to make more from your donations.
Your donated items will be labelled with the Donor ID number to enable us to capture sales information and we will keep you up to date with the total amount of money raised from their sale. This is a requirement of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
