As some of you know DH and I decluttered, downsized, extracted ourselves, ran away to Wales and let out our house earlier this year. Much of the stuff went to Oxfam - lots and lots of books in particular (bags tagged under their gift aid scheme). Good old Oxfam are on the ball when it comes to Gift aid and communications, so they have just sent me an email update:
Sales of items: £1111.30
Gift Aid we can claim: £277.83
Giving a total of £1389.13 to help people work their way out of poverty.
Have to say that there were ups and downs in all that getting rid of stuff but on balance it was a very positive thing to do and this has to be one of the ups.
