Regular Giving

Gift Aid
At no extra cost to you, the Phoenix Trust may be able to claim from the Inland Revenue a further 28p for every pound you donate, provided you are a UK tax payer. All you need to do is complete the gift aid form if you pay sufficient Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax. Thank you for your help.

Leaving a legacy
You can leave a legacy to the people of Cirencester by considering the Trust in your will or nominating the trust for In Memoriam donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral. We are grateful for all legacies, no matter how small.
If you leave a gift to a UK charity in your will the value of the gift will be deducted from the value of your estate before inheritance tax is worked out.
Gifts made to a UK charity in the seven years prior to your death are also covered by the same exemption from inheritance tax.
If your estate is liable to inheritance tax this will reduce the overall amount of tax due from your estate.
