By selecting ‘yes please’ and clicking continue, I agree and understand the following:

I want to Gift Aid all qualifying gifts of money made to the Friends of BIF now, in the future and in the past four years. I am a UK taxpayer and I understand that if I pay less income and / or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in the relevant tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I understand Friends of BIF will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I have given, and that all gift aid claimed will be treated as unrestricted funding, even if the original donation is restricted. I will notify Friends of BIF if I want to cancel this declaration, change my name or home address or no longer pay sufficient tax on my income and / or capital gains.
