Upon recent application to HMRC we have been recognised as a charity under British law and can now claim Gift Aid at the end of the tax year. We are delighted to have received official recognition of our charitable status. Gift Aid will provide us with a generous tax rebate worth 25% of a British taxpayer's donation - which only makes your donations go so much further towards our aims.
Our next aim is to turn an income of £5000 a year as this will allow us to apply to the Charity Commission, who in turn would assign us an official Charity Number.
