Accounts are available for individuals and companies who wish to give regularly to charities without the need for them to keep extensive records of their charity giving.
Individuals give a donation to the Charity Service and we collect the tax from HMRC on this gift*. The total amount including tax is then held for the account holder in a charity cheque account for them to distribute to charity. Account holders then give to their chosen charities using either a charity cheque book or our online service. We can even check the status of a charity if you are unsure.
The Charity Service checks the status and validity of all charities to which it sends funds on behalf of our clients and this is checked using our links to the Charity Commission. Our experienced team provides a speedy service of processing and distribution to the chosen charities.
We are also working with a number of local charities who need funds for small projects and our account holders will be able to access this information should they wish to help more local organisations.
We are now offering cheque accounts for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, Bar & Bat mitzvahs. These can be funded through monetary gifts from a number of donors but are not eligible for gift aid.
In Memoriam accounts are available for families who wish to put together donations in a fund for distribution to charities in the name of a loved one. These donations are eligible for gift aid if appropriate details are given*.

*provided we are in possession of a signed Gift Aid Declaration and Indemnity Form, we can claim the standard rate of tax only (higher rate tax payers will need to claim the difference through their tax return).
