Cancer Lifeline recently introduced the Gift Aid scheme for people who give to the charity following a training course delivered by NICVA. The knowledge gained at the course contributed to the organisation raising over £3,200 in previously unclaimed money
Cancer Lifeline aims to assist individuals and their families to access up to date
information and advice to help them cope with symptoms and treatment of cancer. This extra £3,200 can be used by the charity as it wishes to deliver more services or cover core costs.
NICVA has recently delivered Gift Aid training to more charities - none of which were currently actively promoting the Gift Aid scheme. Gift Aid is worth at least an extra 28% on top of eligible donations. Research by NICVA suggested that £40m worth of Gift Aid was going unclaimed every year.
For more information on Gift Aid contact NICVA's fundraising advice team on 028 9087 7777 or email neil.irwin@nicva.org.
