SAD NEWS…

Unfortuneality, this month we start with some sad news.
Due to the increasing running costs of a high street store, it’s with great sadness that we’ve had to announce the closure of HBH charity shop in Nailsea.
We want to thank Jackie Main and her team of volunteers for all of their hard work.

ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE

We are incredibly pleased to announce that we have received full planning permission from Bristol City council to develop the new Spring Street site.
This is what we’ve been waiting for so we can now steam ahead ready for our move in April.
Follow us on Facebook for all our latest updates on the Spring Street development.

HOMELESS COLD WEATHER ADVICE

Due to the cold, wet weather, it’s been a tough few weeks for the street homeless of Bristol.
We all know how difficult it can be to keep warm at home in this cold weather. So imagine how hard it can be to stay warm when you’re homeless.
The average age of rough sleepers who died in the last five years was 43, around half the usual life expectancy in the UK.
In 2018, an independent report found that 78 homeless people died in the UK because of winter conditions.
These figures are shocking, but we believe that with the right action those figures can be significantly lowered.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Help Bristol's Homeless to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Help Bristol's Homeless we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Help Bristol's Homeless to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Help Bristol's Homeless will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Help Bristol's Homeless receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
