Donation Policy

Donations transform impoverished communities and save lives: They relieve the desperate, feed the hungry, treat the sick and sponsor the Orphans. Therefore, Seven Spikes Relief maintains a 100% donations policy.

Seven Spikes‘ 100% donation policy means that every single penny donated to us is used strictly for charitable causes and nothing of it is spent on admin or running cost. 100% donation policy ensures that each donation is used appropriately.

Like any organization, Seven Spikes has administration costs and overheads. How does Seven Spikes Relief then cover its admin costs while adhering to a 100% donations policy?

We keep our overheads and running cost very low by deeply searching the necessary services and picking the most cost-effective ones, by not spending on adverts or ads and by depending mainly on volunteers in the UK and abroad. The minimal running cost that we incur is covered fully from the following sources.

1. Our trustees pay towards our admin costs;
2. Profit from Sales of goods offline and online, e.g., EBay and on our website;
3. Giftaid, which is 25% of the value of any donation that has been gift aided. We can claim from the UK government 25% from the value of the donation of any taxpayer. For example, if a UK taxpayer donates £100 and ticks the giftaid box, the UK government will give us £25 extra from the tax paid by the donor. The £100 original donation will be spent fully on charitable causes while the additional £25 giftaid will be spent on charitable causes as well as on running costs ;
4. Donations specified for admin costs: That is when a donor gives a donation and says we can spend that money on admin cost.

We have a separate bank account for expenses and admin costs. Only funds from the above sources are deposited to the expenses account while funds from donations are kept on our main account and used only for charitable causes. Any expense incurred is paid only from the expenses account. Our 100% donation policy ensures a smooth flow of our operations in serving the needy.

Our Expenses account details are: Name: Seven Spikes Expenses /Account No. 24158060 /Sort code: 30-99-08
