It’s estimated that Gift Aid in Ballymena could be worth more than £12,000 over the next year if everyone making a clothing or goods donation to the shop signed up to the Gift Aid scheme.

Retail Gift Aid is a national Government tax scheme which sees 25p donated back from tax revenues for every £1 spent in a Barnardo’s charity shop at no cost to the donor.

Claire McFerran Barnardo’s Head of Retail for the Ballymena area said: “I think once people know how simple it is to sign up to Gift Aid and what an important difference it could make to children’s lives without costing an extra penny people will be keen to join.”
