Can you make £1 worth £1.25? – Gift Aid Awareness Day 2026
Gift Aid Awareness Day is a chance to highlight how a simple Gift Aid declaration can help support for Pilgrims Hospices go further.
If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows Pilgrims Hospices to claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you donate, at no additional cost to you.
That means a £10 donation can become £12.50, while a £100 donation can become £125, helping us make every donation count.
Gift Aid can also apply when you donate pre-loved items to our charity shops. If you’re eligible and make a Gift Aid declaration, the money raised when your donated items are sold can be worth 25% more to Pilgrims.
Whether you’re supporting Pilgrims through a financial donation or by donating items to our shops, Gift Aid is a simple way to help your support go further.
The extra income helps Pilgrims Hospices provide compassionate care and support, free of charge, for people with a life-limiting illness and those important to them across east Kent.
