Monetary Gifts
Financial gifts are tax-efficient, allowing rebate to be claimed from the Inland Revenue. Simplified rules now allow for the gross amount to be paid to us and for you to set the amount against tax.
Gifts of Shares
A gift of shares now qualifies for complete exemption from Capital Gains Tax as well as Income Tax Relief. This allows the full market value of shares held in a listed company to be set against the donor’s chargeable income in the tax year of the gift. This is particularly valuable for higher rate taxpayers.
Gift in kind
There are eight Barnsley Hospice charity shops, which all require stock of good quality clothes, books and bric a brac etc. Your company may be able to support us through donating end of line or unwanted goods.
We are also able to use gifts in the Hospice itself, in the form of office furniture and stationery. Alternatively, you may be able to offer a professional service or training at no cost to the Hospice.
Recycling Schemes
Barnsley Hospice is working with a company which recycles printer cartridges and one which recycles mobile phones. We receive a share of the sale value of these products. At present several companies are recycling inkjet and toner cartridges and also mobile phones on our behalf - these can be collected direct from the workplace.
