(In case you don't know how Just Giving works here is a quick explanation: If a £10 donation is given, Just Giving send 100% of the money immediately to Tearfund. Just Giving then reclaim gift aid if you are a UK taxpayer and retain 5% of the gift aid and send the rest to the charity. So in this instance if you donate £10 Tearfund would receive almost £12. If you are not a UK taxpayer the 5% fee will be taken from the donation).
