Orchid Project The Hidden Toll

Groundbreaking research from the University of Birmingham has revealed female genital mutilation/ cutting (FGM/C) as a leading cause of preventable death among girls and young women, claiming approximately 44,320 lives annually. This positions FGM/C alongside major causes of mortality such as enteric infections, respiratory infections, and malaria. However, unlike these diseases, which are caused by external factors, FGM/C is a result of intentional actions and is entirely avoidable.

The Gift Aid scheme means that any donations you make to Orchid Project will be worth 25% more at no cost to you. To enable us to reclaim the tax on all your donations in the last four years, and any future donations you make, please confirm that you agree with the following statement.

I want to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I make in the future, or have made in the past 4 years.

I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and 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, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Please notify us if you want to cancel this declaration, change your name or home address, or, if you no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.

If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your self-assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust your tax code.
