Fundraising
These are some of the ways we use to raise money to help pay for camps, activities and equipment and the ongoing running costs of the Scout Group.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a tax relief set up by the Government to enable charities to claim back 25p for every eligible £1 donation that is made to the charity.
27th Plymouth Scout Group is a charity and so we’re able to claim 25% on eligible donations made to us by UK taxpayers. This includes membership fees received from parents or carers. We collate this through parents completing a form on Online Scout Manager.
Amazon Smile
If you are an Amazon shopper – just before you order something click on the search bar and choose Smile, a link will come up that costs you no extra money but you can choose 27Th Plymouth Scout Group and we get a few pennies from each purchase made.
Give as You Live
Give as you Live is an online fundraising platform allowing users to shop at over 4,200 top stores and raise free funds for charity. The store pays Give as you Live a percentage of your total purchase price in commission and of this, 50% is passed on to charity.
Register as a supporter of 27th Plymouth Scout Group and make it your home page by clicking on the link in the top right hand corner of the site. It does not cost us or you any money.
