By gift aiding your contribution we can reclaim an additional 25p in every £1, making your gift worth even more at no extra cost to you. Gift Aid is an invaluable source of 'extra' income. If you qualify, please click the button below as it enables us to reclaim 25p from HM Revenue and Customs for every £1 donated. We reclaim the tax by forwarding details of your gift to the Inland Revenue. The table below outlines the benefits of giving for higher-rate tax payers.

If your circumstances or details change i.e. you no longer pay sufficient tax on your income/capital gains or you simply want to cancel this declaration, please notify development@reading-school.co.uk asap.

Match funding, or match giving is a simple way to maximise the donations raised you have raised/gifted to the school. In most cases, a company pledges to match a sum of money relating to the amount the employee has either raised or donated to a charity.

As an exempt charity under schedule 2 of the Charities Act 1993, your one-off or regular donations to the school could be increased by up to 100% in this way. In most cases, the company will match your donation pound for pound up to a specific level. Please contact your HR or Corporate and Social Responsibility Department to check whether a scheme is already in place or if they would be willing to set one up.

Payroll Giving allows employees you to donate money directly from their pay to any UK registered charity or good cause through your employers chosen HMRC approved Payroll Giving Agency, such as Charitable Giving, Charities Trust or Charities Aid Foundation
