Polka’s Supporter Circles schemes (Guardians, Superheroes, and Champions) comprise a voluntary donation and a payment (including VAT) for the associated benefits.
Benefits can be purchased separately. Any amounts given over and above the benefits value are a donation and can be eligible for Gift Aid. Champions: £425 donation/£75 inc VAT benefits, Super Heroes £1,300 donation/£200 inc VAT benefits, Guardians £4,800 donation/£200 inc VAT benefits.
If you wish to receive no benefits in return for your support, then your full contribution can be a donation and therefore all of it eligible for Gift Aid. Please contact us to arrange this.
