Invasive non-native species (or INNS) have received a huge amount of coverage in our volunteer emails, social media, and the news throughout the summer. Hogweed has been particularly well covered as, yet again, we saw people badly affected by hogweeds harmful sap which has been causing blisters and burns. Next spring, we are hoping to launch the INNS Free Ribble project which will see Ribble Rivers Trust carry out a program of work to control invasive species, including hogweed, across the catchment.

However, we will need your help!

To ensure we can get this project off the ground we are looking to raise an £5000 from public donations. As always, all the money we raise goes directly into improving our rivers, and green spaces, and making them safer for everyone. For more information visit the campaign page by clicking here.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Ribble Rivers Trust to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Ribble Rivers Trust we can claim back 25p from HMRC, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Ribble Rivers Trust to reclaim the tax from HMRC on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Ribble Rivers Trust will reclaim 25p of tax from HMRC on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Ribble Rivers Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
