Petition Allow charities to claim Gift Aid on all income during COVID19 crisis
Many (small) charities are reliant on regular and event-based income to support their activity. Please allow charities to claim gift aid on all income (including earned) throughout the crisis to help them from folding.
More details
Charities, especially small, struggle with generating stable and regular sources of income at the best of times. Very few will have the resilience to deal with the loss of income which COVID19 will cause. Help will need to be given to trustees to make difficult decisions about cutting activity but one way to improve the situation would be to allow charities to claim Gift Aid on all income during the crisis period. Please investigate how engineering this is possible and, if not, alternatives.
