Dear Mark
Thank you so much for your generous donation of £30.00.
And Christmas is just the beginning.
Your gift could also help provide tailored one-to-one support all year round – for example, helping someone with finding a home and settling in, gaining new skills or a new job, or helping with their health and wellbeing.
Thank you for allowing us to claim Gift Aid on your donation
By allowing us to claim Gift Aid, Crisis can reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you have given in the last four years, as well as this donation and any you may choose to make in the future, until you notify us otherwise.
You’ve confirmed you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in each tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference. This way, you are enabling Crisis to help even more people out of homelessness.
If you are not eligible to Gift Aid your donation, please let us know online, email us or contact our Supporter Care team on 08000 38 48 38. We can only amend our records from the date you inform us.
Your support helps give people experiencing homelessness in the UK a joyful Christmas and the support they need to leave homelessness behind for good. The start of this can be as simple as a series of small steps - from a haircut to a warm meal, your own shower and a personalised support plan.
You can find out other ways you can support Crisis on our website but if you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Supporter Care team on 08000 38 48 38 or email supporter.helpline@crisis.org.uk.
We know that homelessness is not inevitable and together, we can end it for good.
Wishing you and your loved ones all the best for this festive season.

Whether you donate or not is your choice. Although the least you could do, before making silly comments, is watch both the videos.

They must be really dodgy if they have only been going for 40 years?
