Gift Aid

Gift aid is a simple government initiative which allows you to increase the value of your donations at no extra cost to you.

For every pound paid in subscriptions the Scout Group can get an extra 25p from HM Revenue & Customs.

This extra income will make a big difference to the Group.

Gift Aid forms will be available on the website shortly but in the meantime please ask a group leader for a form if you are eligible.  Please only fill in the gift aid form if you have paid tax over the last year.

If your child is interested in joining the group but you are concerned about whether you can afford the Subs or the uniform please contact us or ask to speak to the group leader as there may be support available.
