Give creativity this Christmas

The creative arts support people through challenging times, offering them a break from everyday life – a safe space to make things, meet new people, build new skills and feel joy.

Which is why one of the best gifts you can give this year is helping Create bring the creative arts to those who really need them.

Like the young carers who come to our art:space workshops and get to create a winter-themed ‘world in a box’, a landscape made of paper and cotton wool, adorned with fairy lights.

One young carer told us that whenever she feels stressed or sad, she looks in the box and instantly feels better.

“At the end of a race, you get a medal. At the end of an art project, you get that final piece of artwork. It makes you feel really happy.” – Layla, young carer

Whether it’s young carers getting a well-earned break, disabled children building confidence, or older people making friends, the creative arts improve the lives of people in the most difficult and isolated situations.

By giving the gift of creativity you can bring joy that will last in people’s lives long after Christmas.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Create (Arts) Limited to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Create (Arts) Limited we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the “Yes” box, I agree I would like Create (Arts) Limited 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 Create (Arts) Limited 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 Create (Arts) Limited 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.
