Gift Aid: TalkFIRST is recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid. If you pay UK tax, ticking the Gift Aid box adds 25p to every £1 you give, at no cost to you.
Where your money goes
Most of our free work runs on grants, and grants are getting harder to win. Donations help fill the gaps and keep things like our Tou-Can groups free at the door.
