Your Trust, Our Commitment

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows registered charities like Mercy Appeal to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate – at no cost to you.

🧾 How it works:

If you're a UK taxpayer, simply ticking the Gift Aid box on our donation form means we can reclaim the tax you’ve already paid on that donation.

So if you donate £10, we receive £12.50 — without you paying a penny more.

You can use Gift Aid if:

• You pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the UK
   
• You have paid at least as much tax this year as we (and any other charities you support) will claim back
   

Not sure? If you’ve had a job, pension, or savings interest that was taxed — you probably qualify.

Yes — it's completely safe. Gift Aid doesn't share your financial details or affect your tax return. It’s just a way for the government to support the causes you care about.

Adding Gift Aid boosts your impact by 25%, helping us provide even more food, water, and essential aid — at no extra cost to you.
