Today is Gift Aid Awareness Day

Tick the box and make your donation go further
Every time you support The Little Princess Trust, you help transform the lives of children and young people facing the very personal challenge of hair loss.
Whether it’s funding real hair wigs or pioneering research into childhood cancer, your generosity fuels hope.
But there’s one simple action that can supercharge your support – Gift Aid.
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer.
That means your £20 donation becomes £25 – without costing you a penny more. For a charity like The Little Princess Trust, which receives no government funding, this uplift is crucial.
And the national impact is staggering. In the tax year ending April 2025, UK charities received £1.7 billion in Gift Aid—a 7% increase from the previous year
Yet, research shows that more than £500 million in Gift Aid goes unclaimed annually, often because donors aren’t aware of it or forget to tick the box.
That’s money that could fund many more wigs, accelerate cancer research, and help even more families.
How to Add Gift Aid to Your Donation
If you're a UK taxpayer, claiming Gift Aid is quick and easy. Just fill out the Gift Aid declaration form on our website.
Or if you're fundraising, make sure your sponsors tick the Gift Aid box and provide their details on your sponsorship form.
For The Little Princess Trust, every Gift Aided donation helps us even more.
It means more children can receive wigs tailored to their needs, and more scientists can pursue kinder treatments for childhood cancers. It’s not just helpful—it’s transformative.
