Rowcroft Hospice marked Gift Aid Awareness Day, on October 9, by highlighting the impact of Gift Aid on its services across South Devon. The scheme, which allows charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated by UK taxpayers, brought in £105,000 from direct donations and another £80,000 through sales of donated goods in the hospice’s shops during the last financial year.
