Gift Aid

Donations and sponsorship payments are eligible for Gift Aid providing donors are paying at least the amount of UK income tax reclaimed on their donations. In the 2010/2011 tax year this makes a £100 donation worth £125 to the Anglo-Thai Foundation, and the Government contributes another £3. Our understanding is that, if you pay tax at the 40% or new 50% rate, you will be able personally to reclaim a further £41.66 or £75 through your tax return.

What should be the ATF’s top priority?

ATF Child Protection Policy

The Anglo-Thai Foundation is conscious that many of the people it is seeking to help are vulnerable and takes active steps to ensure that their interests are protected. All UK-based trustees are required

to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check at least every three years and as appropriate. Thai-based trustees and volunteers are vetted in accordance with the most stringent local standards.

The Foundation’s UK and Thai contact addresses are provided on its literature to enable any complaints to be made directly to the trustees.

Should volunteers be working under the Foundation’s auspices, head teachers would be given these addresses and invited to communicate any concerns.

Many of the Foundation’s sponsors are justifiably keen to communicate with their sponsored students and this is encouraged providing all correspondence passes in both directions through the Foundation’s designated trustees in Thailand and the UK. Private addresses of sponsors and of sponsored students are not communicated.

Sponsors who wish to visit their students must be accompanied by at least one trustee or designated representative of the Foundation.
