Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Al Basar International Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Al Basar International Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Al Basar International Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Al Basar International Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Al Basar International Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Prevent blindness with specialised care

Our special programmes bring essential eye care services to impoverished communities worldwide, focusing on treating serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, retinopathy, cataracts, strabismus, and low vision. Through these programmes, we provide life changing treatments, distribute glasses, and supply necessary eye medications, ensuring that those in need have access to vital eye health resources. Since their launch, these programmes have made a significant difference, transformed countless lives and restored hope through accessible, quality eye care.

Types of treatment offered

Cataracts

The clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which causes blurry or dimmed vision. This condition is frequently age-related but may also result from trauma, certain medical conditions, or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light.

Glaucoma

An eye condition characterised by damage to the optic nerve, often associated with elevated intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to progressive vision loss and permanent blindness.

Retinopathy

A condition involving damage to the retina’s blood vessels, commonly linked to systemic diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. It can result in visual impairment and, in severe cases, lead to blindness.

Strabismus

A misalignment of the eyes in which they do not properly coordinate to focus on the same point, potentially affecting binocular vision and depth perception.
