Hi, I’m Simon Conte and I last rode London to Brighton in 2002.  Being almost 20 years older and wiser ,  my aim is to maintain a steady pace and stop less frequently for refreshments and impromptu partying en route!
I’ve chosen to support CHEF because this amazing, well thought out Charity will continue to help the people of Lesotho rebuild their livelihoods towards an acceptable standard of living that so many of us take for granted.  I’m humbled by the resolve of this small hard working nation to get back on it’s feet and hope you can join me in being a part of this.

Reclaim Gift Aid

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

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 CHEF 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.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like CHEF 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 CHEF will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.
