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.

Charlie T’s Story

Say ‘Hello’ to Charlie. Charlie has Cerebral Palsy, meaning he can’t walk without support and has limited use of his right hand. Non-verbal, his brain damage has left him visually impaired and he sees mostly in 2D with little depth perception.

Before raising money with Heel & Toe, Charlie and his family struggled to receive any funding, due to NHS SALT (Speech and Language Therapy) services being overstretched and having their financial resources reduced.

Since joining the charity, Charlie has attended regular SALT sessions since July, helping his and his family’s communication with each other. He has also just started Conductive Education.

Because of his disability, Charlie needs to practise a range of essential stretches that will aim to reduce the tone in his legs. These stretches can be very uncomfortable for him and he does not enjoy them.

However, his favourite aspect of Heel & Toe is playing. This allows him to learn, develop and exercise in a way that is fun and engaging and to complete his stretches without seeing them as a chore.

A keen swimmer, Charlie also loves music, especially when his grandma sings nursery rhymes to him. He is a huge fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Thomas the Tank Engine.

Despite battling his disabilities on a daily basis, Charlie will achieve anything once he has set his mind to it. A natural charmer with a fun-loving and gentle personality, he is, unsurprisingly, an extremely popular member of his nursery – parents tell of their children often speaking of their friend Charlie – and this is demonstrated further by the lovely bond he has with his therapist at Heel & Toe, interacting well during sessions.
