Donation Terms & Refund Policy
Secure Processing We use trusted third-party payment processors to handle financial donations securely. Petersfield Men’s Shed CIO does not store or have access to your credit or debit card details.
Refunds Under UK charity law, donations are generally non-refundable. However, if you have made an error (such as entering the wrong amount or a duplicate payment), please contact us within 7 days. We will review refund requests on a case-by-case basis.
Gift Aid If you choose to add Gift Aid to your donation, you are confirming that:
- UK Taxpayer: You must pay at least basic rate Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year your donation is made.
- Sufficient Tax Paid: The tax you’ve paid must be at least equal to the Gift Aid the charity claims on your donation.
- Gift Aid Declaration: You must give the charity explicit permission to claim Gift Aid by completing a declaration.
Terms of Material & Tool Donations
We are incredibly grateful for donations of tools, timber, bikes and equipment. However, to ensure the safety of our shed and the efficiency of our space, we operate under the following terms for all physical donations:
Transfer of Ownership By handing over items to Petersfield Men’s Shed CIO, you agree that you are transferring full ownership of these items to the charity. You confirm that you have the lawful right to donate these items.
How We Use Donations While we prioritize using donations within our workshop, we receive more than we can store. Therefore, we reserve the right to deal with donated items in any of the following ways at our absolute discretion:
- Use: Retained for use by members in the shed.
- Repair/Up-cycle: Refurbished by members as a project.
- Sell: Sold to members or the public to generate funds for the charity.
- Pass On: Donated to other charities or community groups.
- Recycle/Dispose: If an item is unsafe, broken beyond repair, or unsuitable, we will recycle or dispose of it responsibly.
Right to Refuse We cannot accept everything. We respectfully reserve the right to refuse donations that are:
- Electrical items (unless by prior arrangement for safety testing).
- Hazardous materials (chemicals, paints, asbestos, etc.).
- Too large for our storage facilities.
- In a condition that renders them unusable.
Please do not leave items outside our premises without speaking to a member first.
