Charities are being urged to spread the #TickTheBox message this week to encourage people to remember to include Gift Aid for the voluntary sector.
Gift Aid Awareness Day takes place on Thursday 8 October to raise awareness among the public that the tax relief is worth £1.3bn to the charity sector but could be worth £560m.
A downloadable campaign pack has been produced by the Charity Finance Group to help promote the awareness day, including logos, infographics and other visual material for social media.
The Good Exchange is among charities to already publish promotion for the awareness day this week.
