Maximise your donation through tax effective giving

You are probably aware of the Gift Aid scheme. However, Gift Aid only applies to the basic rate of tax (20%).

If you're a higher rate income tax payer (40% or 50%), you can reclaim the difference between the basic rate of tax and the highest rate of tax you have paid after making a charitable donation, increasing the value of the donation even further.

For example, a donation of £10,000 from you could potentially be worth as much as £15,625 to Age UK.

Age UK also welcomes the donation of shares.

At Age UK the national charity, we have developed our fundraising activity with our donors and older people in mind - read our Fundraising Charter.
