When you say “yes” to Gift Aid, you help St David’s Hospice receive an extra 25p for every £1 you give, paid by the UK Government, not by you.
Those extra pennies add up to real care for local people and their families across Conwy, Gwynedd and Anglesey – helping us provide more specialist nursing, respite and family support, free of charge to the people who need us.
All it takes is a quick Gift Aid declaration, and your support can go even further.
Gift Aid is a UK Government scheme that lets charities like St David’s Hospice claim back the basic rate of tax (currently 20%) on your donation if you are a UK taxpayer.
For every £1 you donate, we can claim an extra 25p.
If you donate £10, St David’s receives £12.50 with Gift Aid.
It doesn’t cost you anything extra, the additional 25% comes from tax you’ve already paid to HMRC
By completing a simple Gift Aid declaration, you allow us to claim Gift Aid on your eligible donations now and in the future.
St David’s Hospice care is free of charge to patients and their families, but it is not free to provide. Each year it costs millions of pounds to run our services, and only part of this comes from statutory and NHS funding – the rest is raised through the generosity of people like you.

Gift Aid FAQs
Gift Aid is a UK Government scheme that allows St David’s Hospice to increase the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you, by reclaiming basic rate tax you’ve already paid.
Most personal donations from UK taxpayers are eligible, including cash, card payments, Direct Debits, sponsorship donations and items donated to our shops, as long as they are genuine gifts and not in return for goods or services (for example, raffle tickets, event tickets or auction purchases are usually not eligible).
Retail Gift Aid lets us treat the sale of your donated goods (e.g. clothes, books, furniture) as if you had sold them yourself and then donated the proceeds to us.
When you sign up, we can claim 25% Gift Aid on the value we raise from selling your items, once certain conditions are met.
No. Once you’ve made a Gift Aid declaration, we can usually claim Gift Aid on all eligible donations you make now, in the future and often for the past four years, unless you tell us to stop.
Yes, if you pay enough Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year (for example, on a pension, savings interest or investments) to cover the Gift Aid claimed on your donations.
St David’s Hospice can only claim Gift Aid at the basic rate (20%) on your donation.
If you pay a higher rate of tax, you may be able to claim additional tax relief through your Self‑Assessment tax return or by contacting HMRC – and you can choose to donate this extra amount to charity as well.
Gift Aid normally applies to individual donations.
If you are donating money raised from a collection, event, group or company, please contact us and we’ll advise on the best way to make your gift and whether Gift Aid can be applied.
To claim Gift Aid we are legally required to have your name and home address, so we cannot claim Gift Aid on completely anonymous donations.
We will always keep your details secure and use them in line with data protection regulations and our privacy policy.
