By adding Gift Aid, your donation is worth 25% more at no extra cost to you. That extra support helps us provide vital care for more patients and the people who love them.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a government scheme that makes your donation worth 25% more at no extra cost to you. If you're a UK taxpayer and have paid sufficient Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, we can claim this extra support to help more patients and families.

Thanks to Gift Aid, we received an additional £139,000 last year. This included £69,000 from donations and £70,000 from items donated to our charity shops, up 53% on the previous year.

Your generosity helps patients like Jon, and his wife Margaret.

I can truthfully say that the only time we felt the utmost love, care, dignity and happiness in the whole ordeal was the time we spent at Heart of Kent Hospice. I owe some of the best last few days spent with Jon to them and they could not have been more caring and loving to us.
