Pain Is Not a Belief System: Recognising and Treating Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia in Cavaliers
19 April 2025Every donation makes a difference to the Cavaliers in our care. If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no additional cost to you.
It’s one of the simplest ways to help us do even more for the dogs who rely on Bliss Cavalier Rescue.
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows charities to reclaim tax on eligible donations from UK taxpayers.
That means:
- A £10 donation becomes £12.50
- A £20 donation becomes £25
- A £100 donation becomes £125
Those extra funds make a real difference to rescue dogs needing veterinary treatment, specialist care, medication, rehabilitation and safe foster homes.
Why Gift Aid Matters to Bliss Cavalier Rescue
Many of the Cavaliers who come into our care have complex medical or behavioural needs. Some require neurological treatment, dental surgery, heart medication, diagnostics or long-term rehabilitation before they are ready for adoption.
Gift Aid helps us stretch every donation further, allowing us to provide more support to the dogs who need it most.
When hundreds of supporters complete a Gift Aid declaration, it adds up to thousands of pounds each year for the rescue, all without costing our supporters anything extra.
Who Can Use Gift Aid?
You can complete a Gift Aid declaration if:
- You are a UK taxpayer
- You have paid enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax during the current tax year to cover the amount charities will reclaim on your donations
If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, please don’t worry, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Completing the Form
Completing a Gift Aid declaration is quick and simple.
Once completed:
- You continue donating as normal
- We reclaim the additional 25% from HMRC
- Your donation goes even further for the rescue Cavaliers
We manually manage our Gift Aid records and calculations, so there’s no need for supporters to work anything out themselves.
Help Us Continue Our Work
Every additional pound helps us provide veterinary care, rehabilitation and support for Cavaliers who need a second chance.
By completing a Gift Aid form, you are helping us rescue more dogs, fund more treatment and continue supporting Cavaliers with complex needs across the UK.
