We shall not be liable in any way for how the recipient charity uses your donation or any part thereof.

2.4 Where you confirm you are a UK taxpayer and you give your consent for Gift Aid to be reclaimed, we will use reasonable endeavours to enable The Charities Trust (Registered Charity No: 327489) to claim Gift Aid on your donation, subject to the rules and regulations applying to the Gift Aid scheme from time to time.

The Charities Trust takes a 4% fee of the donation and a further 4% fee of the Gift Aid amount. We charge 7.5% of the original donation (or a £1 minimum charge whichever is the greater) for our fee. For example, on a £20 donation after the fees are taken, £23.08 is donated to charity:
