We are a UK charity, committed to halt and indeed reverse the catastrophic decline in the African Lion. Over the past 50 years Africa's lion populations have plummeted from over 200,000 individuals back in the 1960's to probably fewer than 15,000 today. Lions may only have between 5 and 10 years left before extinction in the wild. A significant cause of these declines is lion trophy hunting, a practice which not only continues today but is accelerating! The rarer the animal, the more prized the trophy! LionAid is currently campaigning to bring about a ban on the importation of lion trophies into the UK/EU.
Yes, I am a UK tax payer and am happy for my donations to be gift aided.
The legal bit: You must be a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital
Gains
Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations across all
Charities,
it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
TheGivingMachine reclaims 25p for every £1 you donate from the tax you pay for the current tax year so
we
can give even more away to causes you choose. If you change your name, address or tax status, please do
let us know.
