Adding Gift Aid to your donation is as easy as 1,2,3!

1. Sign up for Gift Aid by speaking to a staff member or volunteer during your next donation drop-off to receive an orange Gift Aid card for your wallet.

2. Whenever you donate items to a St Helena Hospice shop, present your orange Gift Aid card.

3. We’ll do the rest!

Help us maximise your donation

If St Helena Hospice received more donations that were eligible for Gift Aid, we could help even more local people facing incurable illness and bereavement by supporting them and their families, friends and carers across North East Essex. Every year we care for more than 4,100 local people facing incurable illness and bereavement. Last year, if all eligible donors had given consent to Gift Aid, we would have raised an extra £102,000. That amount could provide 3,400 hours of nursing care to seriously ill patients, and it doesn’t cost you a penny.

27% of funding for St Helena is from the NHS, with 73% of funds needed through donations just like yours, and by supporting us a little further if they are eligible for Gift Aid, makes a huge difference for St Helena’s future.

THANK YOU! Your orange card can make your donated goods worth an extra 25%, it really is as simple as that! Thank you for supporting St Helena Hospice with your donations. For more information about Gift Aid, and to find out whether you're eligible, visit the Government website.
