Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Children in Need Fund to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Children in Need Fund we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Children in Need Fund to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Children in Need Fund will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Children in Need Fund receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

YOUR SUPPORT IS POWERFUL

There is a major need in this world for funds to help individual children and their families that is quick easy and helpful for the recipients. Children In Need Fund was established in September 1983 and has three Trustees. Our object is to provide help through hospitals and other organisations for sick, afflicted and poor children, to offer gifts specialist medical treatment, holidays, food and provide all other welfare facilities possible. Unlike other charities we help individual cases not only institutions. The Charity does not accept applications directly but has always maintained good relationships with many organisations and the social workers, schools, doctors and medical professionals, hospitals youth groups, religious leaders within them. If you know a child in need please get your group,
club, social worker or medical professional to contact us.

WE ARE ON A MISSION TO HELP CHILDREN

Food, toys & general necessities

It’s not only the usual things children need: for example we might provide a sofa bed so that mum & child can have separate beds. We have funded “wishes” for very sick or terminally ill children to enable their dreams to come true. We have provided special toys to help children with disabilities to interact more with their surroundings and loved ones. On occasions we provided white goods if a child had special needs after a long stay in hospital.

Education Help

Although our criteria is to help the individual child with some personal education needs, we do, on occasion, give funding to schools and other organisations who cater for children with special needs and also fund families who cannot afford a holiday in certain circumstances as well as pay for child/ren and schools or organisations that provide child/ren summer camps and breaks to ensure all children feel equal and are not left out for financial reasons.

Medical Help

We help with travel expenses when a child has a long stay in hospital and the parents live out of the area. We provide wheelchairs & tricycles for children with Spina Bifida. We have funded treatments such as physiotherapy, remedial and neuromuscular massage, all of which were unavailable on the NHS. We have provided funding to enable a hospital to have murals in a children’s ward to provide a form of therapy for the children.

Tropical Island Project

Tropical Island for Children in Need fund.

 

Tropical Island is a place of sun, sea, sand, and warmth! Children in Need Fund will benefit from all aspects of the character merchandising. When you purchase any of the products from the website this will also help our fundraising.

There will also be fun video tutorials on how to make delicious healthy eating fun and show how simple it is to do.    

Every child needs a safe place and Tropical Island was designed to be this! It is a visual fun filled theme park where children can learn all sorts of things as well as being entertained. Think how easy your next shopping trip will be when they discover the delights of healthy eating. Learning should be fun and children need to smile and have fun whilst facing challenging times.

Children can use Tropical Island to see the world through the eyes of the characters and tell their friends and family what they have learned.

 

Tropical Island is that safe place that every child deserves.

 

The colourful characters from Tropical Island began as a puppet TV show and live theatre experience to help bring joy and happiness to children and families across the country. The characters have been carefully chosen to promote social values, healthy living and create a safe place where children can go to interact and escape into an environment of wonderment, learning and fun. The stories are chosen to reflect the ideas and feelings of many of the children we help. This helps to give every child we help a voice through our characters and their adventures.
