Gift Aid
The Gift Aid scheme allows us to claim back 25p from HMRC for every £1 that you donate to us at no extra cost to you. The declaration covers all donations including one off payments and regular donations.
Your declaration has been applied to any donations that you may have made to the National Literacy Trust over the past four years and any donations you make in the future.

Please let us know if you have made donations to us but have not been a UK taxpayer in this period.
You are entitled to cancel your Gift Aid declaration at any time within a period of 30 days without any tax being claimed by the National Literacy Trust. Should you choose not to Gift Aid your donations or if you stop paying tax, please let us know and we can take your donations out of the Gift Aid scheme.
