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.

James’s Story

James has no movement in his lower limbs and is very weak in his abdominal area and neck. James is unable to eat, toilet, and talk at the moment. James is not expected to stand or walk independently. He requires daily stretches on his legs, and he works on sitting without propping so that he can play with objects and sit. He also works on high kneeling and four point kneeling to build up his strength in his core and shoulders.

Before Heel and Toe James couldn’t roll over, couldn’t sit and had very little strength. He is now doing activities that it wasn’t thought he would ever be able to do when he started. James is stronger and able to position himself better for play and activities, and he has more confidence and is willing to try new equipment. James has started sitting with and without propping, he has started standing with gaiters using ladders at first then just against a wall using his arm as support, and is now walking using parallel bars and walking frame.

James tries things at Heel and Toe that he possibly wouldn’t think to do at home. James loves his therapists and enjoys playing with them and with the other children in the waiting area. Outside of Heel and Toe James also goes to nursery school and a play group for children with additional needs. He enjoys playing with cars and animals; taking the dog for walks in his wheelchair; and standing. His parents (and James’) aim is that he will be able to independently self-propel in his wheelchair and to pull himself up to move from chair to wheelchair. They would love James to stand and walk with minimal support.

James has such a cheeky personality, he loves to wind up his mammy and daddy and play with his doggy. James loves to laugh and due to his weakened facial muscles this is hard for him. He plays with his cousin all the time and loves Micky Mouse and Bing. James is so determined and he loves hitting his targets and trying to go further and further each visit.
