How Gift Aid Can Make Your Children in Need 2025 Donation Worth More to Charity

Gift Aid lets UK taxpayers boost Children in Need donations by 20% at no extra cost, increasing funds for children’s education, health, and wellbeing projects.

  • This Friday , the Children in Need telethon urges UK donors to tick Gift Aid, a UK government scheme that boosts donations by 20% with HM Revenue & Customs covering the extra.
  • To qualify for Gift Aid, donors must be UK taxpayers who have paid enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, and they typically opt in via an online donation form checkbox or a donation envelope signed line.
  • Charities can claim Gift Aid on one-off donations and regular contributions, but PayPal and ticketed-event donations might reduce what charities reclaim.
  • With many donors expected, Gift Aid can raise extra funds for children’s education, health and wellbeing projects as millions tune in to donate during the telethon.
  • One common misconception is that Gift Aid costs the donor, but your donation stays the same and ticking the Gift Aid checkbox lets the government top up your gift.
