Donating to UNITY

UNITY is a Registered Charity (Registration number 1045494), which means it is a not-for-profit organisation. Your donation will help us continue our work in providing help and support to the carers of substance misusers.

Family and friends can remember a loved one by making a donation in their memory.

You can also make your special occasion extra special by requesting donations to UNITY from those who want to celebrate instead of gifts.

It's the thought that counts! All Donations are welcomed no matter how small or large they are...

Gift Aid it!

How Gift Aid works

The Gift Aid scheme is for gifts of money by individuals who pay UK tax. Gift Aid donations are regarded as having basic rate tax deducted by the donor. Charities or CASCs take your donation - which is money you've already paid tax on - and reclaim the basic rate tax from HMRC. on its 'gross' equivalent - the amount before basic rate tax was deducted.

Basic rate tax is 20 per cent, so this means that if you give £10 using Gift Aid, it’s worth £12.50 to the charity. For donations between 6 April 2008 and 5 April 2011 the charity or CASC will also get a separate government supplement of three pence on every pound you give.

How to make a donation using Gift Aid

In order to make a Gift Aid donation you’ll need to make a Gift Aid declaration. UNITY will ask you to complete a simple form - one form can cover every gift made to UNITY for whatever period you choose, and can cover gifts you have already made and/or gifts you may make in the future.

A Gift Aid declaration must include:

your full name
your home address
the name of the charity
details of your donation, and it should say that it's a Gift Aid donation

Gifts made jointly by people living together

You can use Gift Aid for gifts you make jointly if you tell UNITY how much each of you is giving and if you each make a Gift Aid declaration.

e-mail UNITY via enquiries@unity-multicultural.org or by clicking on this text to use our contact section to arrange the Gift Aid donation.

Don't delay! Your help is always needed.
