Petrus is eligible for Gift Aid
Gift Aid allows charities such as Petrus to get an extra 25p for every £1 donated.
This means if you donate £20 to us with Gift Aid, we’d receive £25.
So instead of donating the cost of 20 meals, you’d have helped pay for 25!
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a scheme which allows UK charities like us to claim back from HMRC the basic rate of tax our donors have paid. It increases the value of donations we receive by 25%, meaning more money can go towards supporting people experiencing homelessness – and it won’t cost you extra!
For charities to claim Gift Aid on your donation, you will need to make a Gift Aid declaration. You can do this by simply ticking the Gift Aid box if you’re donating online. This just confirms that you’re a UK tax payer and that Gift Aid can be claimed on your donation.

Donating goods to the Petrus Community Store
The Petrus Community Store sells second-hand-quality goods such as furniture, homeware, books, music, clothing and more.
All funds raised helps to support people experiencing homelessness in the local area.
