Weston Hospicecare’s garden has been enjoying a spring spruce-up today (Thursday), thanks to a team of volunteers from a national bank.

The Royal Bank Of Scotland (RBS) – which owns Natwest and Coutts – supports organisations all over the UK by offering its staff for community project days.

That meant that a 19-strong team has spent the day painting benches and gazebos, varnishing fences and carrying out other jobs in the garden at the hospice’s Jackson-Barstow House in Uphill.

Rob Lovell, the group’s head of conduct assurance, said the team carries out a number of similar activities through the year, carrying out work for charities, churches, schools and sports clubs.

He said: “I’m Bristol-based, but the team is dotted all over the UK – there are people here from Scotland, London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, as well as a couple from Weston and Congresbury.

“It’s about team-building and supporting the community. We have a bit of fun, but we work hard to get something out of it as a team, too.”

Darren Fairchild, Weston Hospicecare’s estates and facilities manager, thanked the team for their efforts.

He said: “We’re enormously grateful to the RBS team for the work they have done – they really have done a superb job to ensure our garden is looking its best for patients to enjoy this summer.”

    By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Weston Hospicecare to reclaim the tax 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 Weston Hospicecare will reclaim 25p of tax 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 Weston Hospicecare 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.
