6.11.02 – 24.7.21

To some Daniel was known as the main drummer in Fiddlesticks ( an East Lothian orchestra) – a young man who filled our house and the surrounding area with music and rhythm. But Daniel was also creative in other ways.  He built things from sheds to trebuchets to computers, and always aimed for bigger and better. More recently he was interested in taking photos and videos of the beauty around him – he enjoyed the outdoors.

He died, far too young, after swimming with his brother and best buddy, Samuel, from a beautiful beach in the North West of Scotland. We had no idea that there was anything wrong with him until he started having palpitations.  After he collapsed we tried everything in a desperate attempt to save him but he didn’t respond.

We have set up this Memorial Fund in Daniel’s name so that those of you who knew him might donate to Cardiac Risk in the Young and help raise awareness of this silent killer.

You may remember him for different things – he had an eye for beauty and an ear for beauty.  As a family we remember him in everything we do because he was, and always will be, our beloved son and brother. 

David, Ann, Sophie & Samuel Torrance

Claim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Cardiac Risk in the Young to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Cardiac Risk in the Young we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cardiac Risk in the Young to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cardiac Risk in the Young will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cardiac Risk in the Young receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
