Paying money in and Gift Aid

Paying money in:

Online
You can pay money in online at VSO's website (in the ‘what bought you to the website’ section select ‘other’ and state the name of your trek). It's also easy for your supporters to pay money in online if they use your justgiving page.

Post
Please send any cheques payable to 'VSO' to:
Customer Care, Accenture UK Kilimanjaro Challenge, VSO, 317 Putney Bridge Road, London SW15 2PN

Cheques should have your name, registration number and trek name on the back. Please don't send cash by post. (Please note cheques in currencies other than Pounds Sterling can take up to two months to convert and be returned by the bank, so please allow this time before any deadline.)

Telephone
You can pay by Visa/Mastercard/Maestro (+44) 020 8780 7500

Gift Aid:

Make your donation worth more with Gift Aid!

For every pound donated, the Inland Revenue will give VSO an extra 28 pence if the donation is eligible for Gift Aid. We can access these funds if you use our official sponsor forms with the correct legal wording. Your sponsors must fill in their own details (including a full home address), sign their name and tick the Gift Aid box.

To make a Gift Aid donation, the donor must be a UK taxpayer, and what they pay in income tax or capital gains tax must at least equal the amount VSO will claim in the tax year. Please note that VSO is a UK registered charity and therefore donations by non-UK tax payers are not eligible for tax benefits.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

Gift Aid does not count towards your fundraising target.

Important notes:

• For payment by post – if you collect all your donations and send us the total amount in a single payment we can claim GIFT AID provided you send your sponsor forms at the same time.
• For payment online and by phone, if you wish to pay your sponsorship money collected into one single transaction, you cannot Gift Aid the donations made to VSO on behalf of your sponsors.

For Accenture Challenge Events you must use the Worldwide Challenge Events sponsor form with the correct wording. You cannot count the money you raise through Gift Aid towards a fundraising target for a VSO Accenture Challenge.

You can download or order sponsor forms and Gift Aid declaration forms from the Resources page in this section
