  • Gift Aid Schemes for Charity Shops
    Gift Aid schemes for charity shops Introductioni The basic position on Gift Aid is that it is not legally possible to claim Gift Aid on donated goods. Gift Aid claims can only be made in relation to genuine donations of cash from UK taxpayers to UK charities. However, years ago HMRC developed a scheme to enable charity shopsii to take advantage of Gift Aid, and it recently made some changes so that there are now three processes available. Standard process Method A Method B As a result of the basic legal position on Gift Aid claims, it was necessary to come up with a somewhat complex legal structure for the Gift Aid schemes for charity shops. As these schemes are essentially a regulatory concession offered by HMRC for charities, it is important to adopt best practice to avoid the risk of HMRC changing its policy. The legal structure The underlying legal structure is the same for all three processes. A donor brings goods into Donor Gift Aid form Charity a shop and signs up to the Gift Aid scheme. Shop Contract signs up to the Gift Aid scheme. This creates appointing charity iii shop as agent an agency agreement between the donor Agent and the charity shop. Ownership of the goods remains with the donor at this stage and the Goods charity shop agrees to try to sell the goods on behalf of the donor in exchange for a small commission (typically 1% - 5%). The charity shop then sells the goods to a customer and accepts cash for those goods on behalf of the donor.

  • The Evolution of Charity Shop Retailing Rags to Riches How It All Began
    Rags to Riches The evolution of Charity Shop retailing Rags to Riches How it all began In 1947 Oxfam appealed for clothes and blankets that could be sent to famine-struck Greece, the generous response left them with a surplus.

Rags to Riches How it all began In 1947 Oxfam appealed for clothes and blankets that could be sent to famine-struck Greece, the generous response left them with a surplus. They decided to sell them as a way of raising funds and opened what became the model for future charity shops. How things have changed Retro Vintage Before the 1960s, the idea of wearing an outfit sourced from the wardrobe of a person possibly long dead was unappealing in the extreme. Old clothes were only for those unfortunate souls who couldn’t afford the freshly made stuff. How things have changed Retro Vintage Then came the mods & the hippies, who shook the dust from these cast- off clothes, combined them into novel outfits, and turned the whole thing into “vintage fashion.” dressing in vintage styles “was just your way of expressing yourself, wearing clothes that most other people didn’t wear,” How things have changed Retro Vintage Like a fine wine, vintage clothing has come to be regarded as something of high quality that becomes even more valuable with age. How things have changed Today’s customer On-line retailing growing at an enormous rate People selling things they may have donated in the past Reduces the level of quality donations but people empty their wardrobes more often Re-decorating more regularly has resulted in lots of donations of household items How things have changed Today’s customer A predicted 235m items of Britons’ unwanted clothing were expected to end up in landfill unnecessarily this spring.

  • Newsletter Summer 2016
    Newsletter Summer 2016 ‘Outstandingly warm and respectful relationships between pupils and staff form the basis on which the pupils make good academic progress’. Ofsted, 2016 Dear Parents, It has been an exciting term at Rainbow School. We have welcomed lots of visitors throughout the term, including Ofsted, who completed their inspection towards the end of June. The inspectors visited all areas of the school and observed nineteen teaching sessions in total! The inspectors even visited the local supermarket with one of our Sixth Form students to see how our tutors teach in the community. They were impressed with the school, students, and staff. As a school we are delighted with the report. It is an excellent reflection of all our hard work and we believe it highlights our strengths well, including their judgement of ‘Outstanding’ for our personal development, behaviour and welfare of children and young people. A copy of the report has been sent home with your child, but it can also be read on the Rainbow School and Ofsted websites. The summer term has included many trips, from a bowling alley to Hampton Court. However, the highlight was our whole school residential trip to Stubbers Adventure Centre. It was a fantastic few days and a unique opportunity for our pupils. Activities ranged from grass sledging and quad biking to powerboating and jet skiing! All the students and staff had a wonderful time and many memories to share. You can see more photos of the trip on the BeyondAutism Facebook Group. Our pupils have been working very hard this year and I am delighted to inform you that we have 13 pupils who have successfully completed the ASDAN Entry 1 Personal Progress, and one student who has completed the Entry 1 Personal and Social Development qualification! It was wonderful to welcome so many parents to our Mother’s and Father’s Day Assemblies.

The works I have selected are Sarah Kane’s Blasted and Caryl Churchill’s Seven Jewish Children: A play for Gaza. To assist the understanding of the spectator and to enable me to engage with the plays in closer detail I draw on a selection of theories from the philosophers Judith Butler and Arne Johan Vetlesen.

  • 'I Wanted to Meet the Needs of the People': Exploring Volunteers' Accounts of Their Participation Hannah Rose Blake MA by Rese
    'I wanted to meet the needs of the people’: Exploring volunteers' accounts of their participation Hannah Rose Blake MA by Research University of York Sociology December 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the personal accounts of volunteers within a range of volunteer organisations in Yorkshire. An attempt to understand the influences and behaviour of volunteers has been studied for decades by researchers from the fields of psychology, economics and sociology. The purpose for undertaking this research was based on the knowledge that whilst there is a significant amount of literature focusing on volunteers and volunteering, there appeared to be a gap of empirical qualitative research focussing on the personal accounts of volunteers. This research consisted of semi-structured interviews with fourteen formal volunteers. The sample for the study was chosen based on a purposive sampling technique, allowing for specific characteristics of individuals to be chosen. The findings from the interviews highlighted that religion is constructed play an important factor in why people volunteer. Religion played an important role in the lives of many of the participants in the research and they all linked their religion to their voluntary work. Whilst religion emerged from the findings as being an important influence to volunteers so did age and family and it was these factors that also distinguished between the choices of volunteer organisations. 2 Contents Page Abstract 2 List of Tables 4 Acknowledgments 5 Declaration 6 Chapter One - Introduction 7 Chapter Two - Literature Review 10 Chapter Three – Methodology 34 Chapter Four - Analysis 51 Chapter Five – Conclusions, Limitations and Recommendations 71 Appendix A – Organisations in Study 77 Appendix B – Information Letter 79 Appendix C – Consent Form 80 Appendix D – Interview Guide 82 Reference List 83 3 List of Tables Table 1 – Volunteer Information 38 4 Acknowledgements The successful completion of this thesis is a result of the help from a range of individuals.

  • Gift Aid Emergency Relief Faqs
    Gift Aid Emergency Relief FAQs Is it true that only 20% of charities would benefit from the Gift Aid Emergency Relief proposals? 73,050 charities claimed Gift Aid in 2018/19 (source HMRC) which represents approximately 40% of UK charities (source NCVO) and importantly a major part of the sector workforce & beneficiaries. The proposal has widespread support from over 200 charities large and small, local and national. The Gift Aid Relief campaign does recognise that not all charities make use of Gift Aid, so the proposal also makes suggested changes to the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme as well as promoting outreach work to promote awareness of Gift Aid. Full details can be found in the proposal document. But doesn’t the proposal only support larger charities? While it is true that larger charities would receive the largest payments, because they tend to receive larger number of donation, research has found that Gift Aid is a significant and larger proportion of the income for smaller charities (source Charity Tax Commission) so boosting the value of Gift Aid would make a significant difference to them. For these reasons, the campaign is generating significant support from smaller local charities including Shropshire Cat Rescue and Powys Animal Rescue as they restart their charity shop and local fundraising activities. But wouldn’t the proposal break the link between tax paid by donors and Gift Aid? The sector understands the importance of the link between tax paid by donors and Gift Aid, which is why the proposal is time-limited to 2 years The campaign is asking Government to support a temporary boost to the value of Gift Aid at a time when charities are #NeverMoreNeeded, and in response to the unprecedented situation presented by COVID-19.
