There are around 1100 cricket clubs up and down the country that have applied for and got Community Amateur Sports Club status with the Inland Revenue. However very few appear to be reaping the full benefits that the status confers. Effectively a club achieves charitable status and as such can claim 80% mandatory rate relief and gift aid on donations.
Its the latter issue that appears to be missed by most clubs, so in partnership with the CCPR, Sport England, and ECB, the charity website Just Giving has agreed to waive its set up charges to cricket clubs. If your club receives any donations, they can be boosted by 28% gift aid, without any real difficulty.
Simply set up a Just giving site and encourage your donors to use it. Setting up the site could not be any easier, for more information log on to www.cascinfo.co.uk, then go to www.justgiving.com.
