Donations to Charity

Important Note

Some credit card providers charge very large commissions upon transactions; some as much as 3%. We consider this to be too high and therefore do not accept some cards, including American Express and some variations of Master Card and Visa including those suffixed with ‘Corporate’, ‘Business’ or ‘World’. Normal Master Card and Visa should be fine. Transactions attempted with the higher charging credit cards will be declined by our Sagepay Account. If this should prove to be the case, we hope you understand that we cannot afford to lose 3% on a transaction charge, especially on in memorium donations where we pass on 100% of your donation to the charity and we pay the commission to the credit card companies.

Gift Aid

If you have ticked the box titled ‘Gift Aid?’ then you confirm that you are a UK Income or Capital Gains taxpayer. That you have read this statement and want the named charity or Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) to reclaim tax on the donation detailed on this form, given today. That you understand that You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities and CASCs you donate to, will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. That you understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. That you understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you have given.

Please notify us or the charity or CASC if you:

  1. Want to cancel this declaration

  2. Change your name or home address

  3. No longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

Book of Remembrance

"Having the driest of humour delivered without any give away expression,Fran filled the room with laughter and often included himself within the friendly banter. Beneath the laughter and upholding the ability to listen with interest,Fran cared for those around him,following a brief text on a Sunday morning =KETTLE ON GOT ANY BISCUITS the world would be put to rights but always first asking the well fair of others and without his usual unassuming way (albeit pitched within his humour !)he keenly spoke with affection of all his family and friends. Underlying values and achievements without great drama , sharing laughter with consideration and the request for cheese at the end of a boys night out will observe raised glasses in your honour .

"A fitting tribute paid to Andrew, a man taken too soon. Who’s dry sense of humour masked his very kind heart. A loyal friend to those who had the privilege of knowing him. Sleep peacefully Andrew, you will forever live on in our memories."

Teresa Francis - 29th April 21

"Such tragic news to read of your passing Andy. I still remember fondly our time at “Woodlands”. My folks still have their flat underneath yours. You always called me “Trouble”, and I was. But you were a good friend and often “picked up the pieces”. We had such good times and especially when I whooped your ass most weeks on the golf course. Andy, I am sorry that we lost touch, but I was delighted to see that you found such love and support from Jo and the girls. They no doubt saw in you what a kind gentle soul you truly were. Taken far too soon. May you rest in peace. X"

Chelley Richardson (nee Shrimpton) - 25th April 21
