Recently we have been doing work within some of the shops to maximise the funding we receive from our supporters.  We have introduced Gift Aid at our Furniture/Home and Leisure shop in the Paisley Centre and at  44B High Street, Johnstone. If successful we will extend this Gift Aid option to further goods and shops in the future.

Gift Aid boosts the value of your donated items by 25%

By saying ‘yes’ to Gift Aid when you donate items to ACCORD Hospice shops we can claim back 25% tax from HM Revenue and Customs when we sell the goods. That means more money to fund patient care!

How does it work?

Gift Aid can only be claimed on donations of a sum of money. When you donate goods to us, HM Revenue and Customs allow the Hospice to sell the goods on your behalf. The proceeds from the sale can then be donated by you to ACCORD under the retail Gift Aid scheme. When your items are sold, we’ll let you know (by letter or email) how much you’ve helped us raise and confirm that you’re happy for us to treat the money as a Gift Aid donation. We’ll then claim the extra money from HMRC – you don’t need to do anything. The great news is that the value of your kind donation of goods has been increased at no cost to you.
