Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Heel & Toe Childrens Charity 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 Heel & Toe Childrens Charity 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 Heel & Toe Childrens Charity 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.

Lyra’s Story

Lyra joined Heel and Toe in 2015 when she was unable to walk or sit or crawl or say any words and she has made great advances over this time.

She has had several wonderful children buddied with her in her free Conductive Education sessions and these have helped Lyra develop into a friendly and attentive young girl.

Lyra squeals with excitement when she arrives at Heel and Toe for her weekly Conductive Education sessions and has also started Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy. Through block sessions over the school holidays she has made big changes and is even able to walk on a treadmill and say a few words and sentences.

At home, Lyra loves playing with her brother Max and sister Maisie and particularly loves watching YouTube videos showing nursery rhymes like Old Macdonald. She is very clear at expressing herself to her parents and regularly says “I don’t want that!”. We credit Heel and Toe for increasing Lyra’s confidence and we look forward to seeing more changes as we all work together to help Lyra be the best she can be.

Lyra is a little superstar.
