CHARITIES

That this House notes the benefits that tax relief for charities brings with special reference to gift aid; recognises the great work that charities carry out in helping people across the UK; understands that any reduction of the amount that can be given to a charity with tax relief would be detrimental to charities across the UK; and calls for there to be no adverse change to the arrangements as they currently stand allowing people to make donations as they see fit and are able.
