In addition a transitional relief of 3.2% will be repaid to charities (for donations from 6th April 2007 to 5th April 2011). Therefore Gift Aid allows charities to reclaim effectively a total of 28.2%.

So if you are doing a sponsored event make sure your sponsors tick the Gift Aid box and put their FULL name & postcode on your sponsor form.
