Say Yes to Gift Aid...

For every item that you donate to the Furniture Project, if you say yes to Gift Aid we will be able to claim an extra 25% of the proceeds of the sale of your item, from HMRC, but at no extra cost to you!

Therefore if you pay UK income tax,  the next time you donate any furniture or household goods to Forest Upcycling Project ask a member of staff about the Gift Aid Form.

Gift Aid plays an important part in helping Upcycle to continue it work so please remember to gift aid every time you donate.

Gift Aid applies to UK Tax payers only.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme run by HM Revenue and Customs that means charities like ours can claim the tax on your donations at no extra cost to you.

That means that we can claim 25% on any funds raised by your donation. So, if your donation sells for £10, we will actually receive £12.50.

Who can Gift Aid?

You must be a current UK taxpayer, but this is not limited to tax on earnings.

You also qualify if you pay tax on a pension, savings, property sales or rental income (Council Tax and VAT do not qualify as income tax).

You need to have paid as much in tax as we will reclaim on your donations which is currently 25p for every £1 you give. So, if your donated goods make £10 we can claim an additional £2.50 from HMRC. The tax year runs 6th April - 5th April the following year.

We will never share your details with third parties.

What if I am a pensioner?

You may still be paying tax on a private pension or a savings account. If so, you are still eligible if you have paid enough tax during the year to cover your donations (i.e. 25% of the value of your gifts).

What if I have a agreed to Gift Aid to another charity?

You can support as many charities as you like through Gift Aid. You just need to make sure that you are paying enough tax during the year (6th April -5th April following year) to cover your total donations. You can withdraw your Gift Aid declaration at any time by contacting us.
