Light up a Life

Please remember a loved one and dedicate a light this Christmas, your support will help us to keep our clinical services operating especially with the challenges we face with the
Covid-19 pandemic.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

The festive season is traditionally a time for families and loved ones to get together. Light up a Life is an occasion to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have died, a special someone who you have been unable to visit, or someone you cannot be with, but are always in our thoughts.

This year especially many of us have experienced isolation and loneliness, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted more than ever how important our families and friends are to us all. 

We invite you to dedicate a light to your special someone.
Each light symbolises and celebrates the life of that person, remembering precious moments and memories.

Reclaim Gift Aid

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

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Hospice at Home 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 Hospice at Home 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 Hospice at Home 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.
