Perhaps @karonus could clarify.

This comes down to semantics. The potteries are not actually giving any service or consideration in return for a donation. The forum a seperate legal entity runs the competition and suggests a minimum donation to take part. There is actually nothing given in monetary or physical form as reward for winning.
 
I would suggest you rephrase “submission fee” to “suggested donation” then.

As it stands, unless individuals are filling out gift aid declarations the rescue can’t claim gift aid anyway.

Thank you for your concern about this point. However the Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue is not registered for Gift Aid, and will not be claiming Gift Aid on any donations made so this is a non issue.
Would you like to enter photos into the competition?

For TEAS we do collect individual gift aid forms. Every little bit helps as the vet bills can be so high.

I love love love that solo shot of Dexy, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
 
Ah PiggyOwner the set was good at the beginning, there were 3 sheep, I think it was Chester fed vodka to one, so that's passed out somewhere. I was going to put grease over a black pig ( not guinea, before you ring the RSPCA) it was for a game called catch the slippery pig. He ended up at the vet, he's in a critical condition. The tug of war got stolen by Tia & hasn't been seen again. The last I saw of my husband he was running down the road screaming he couldn't cope.
