Donations, Gift Aid and Charity Status
Being a Registered Charity provides us with many benefits.
- We are able to apply for Gift Aid, which can earn us an extra 28.2p in every pound donated to the PTFA
- We can raise funds more easily from grant giving trusts, local businesses, etc.
- We can take advantage of charity matched funding schemes
The Charities Act 1993 requires organisations such as ours with an annual income in excess of £1,000 to register with the Charity Commission. Our registered charity number is: 1080375.
As a charity we must abide by Charity Commission rules and regulations and we are bound by a Constitution. Our Constitution lays down rules about how we operate as a PTFA and how we conduct ourselves.
Donations are extremely important. These can be time, money, food, items for sale, donations for raffles or offers of services and skills etc.
