You don't have to be a doctor to help sick kids get better... you can do it right now!
We aim to raise in excess of £1,000,000 every year to support facilities for families, extra medical equipment, research and training and the provision of many comforts and entertainment for the young patients cared for by the Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
There are three ways to make a personal one-off donation:
1. Online
If you would like to make a fast and simple donation online please
2. By post
If you would like to make a donation by post, please download and fill out our Donation form and post this to:
The Sick Kids Friends Foundation
The Royal Hospital for Sick Children
20 Millerfield Place
Edinburgh
EH9 1LW
Please remember to complete the Gift Aid Declaration, then we can claim back the tax you have already paid on the amount of your gift.
Under the Gift Aid scheme, charities can reclaim an extra 25% in tax
on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. Between 6 April 2008 and 5
April 2011, the government will also give UK charities an extra 3% of
all eligible donations. This ‘transitional relief' does not affect your
personal tax position.
To qualify for Gift Aid:
- you must be a United Kingdom taxpayer
- you must pay or have paid an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the Sick Kids reclaims on your donations each year
- if you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return
- you must notify us if your future donations no longer qualify for Gift Aid
Cheques should be made payable to "The Sick Kids Friends Foundation" and sent to:
The Sick Kids Friends Foundation
The Royal Hospital for Sick Children
20 Millerfield Place
Edinburgh
EH9 1LW
