Preventing young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening and research, and supporting affected families.

Thomas Bennett

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death, support those affected, support CRY’s screening programme and fund research and pathology.

Thomas Edward Bennett (born 25th April 1988, died 11th March 2014). Tom was a budding actor, DJ and comedian and a loyal and loving friend, brother of Georgie Bennett and son of Janie and Jeff Bennett. He was 25 when he passed away from SAD syndrome. Georgie, Janie and Jeff run an annual award night in Tom’s memory at his old drama school, E15 in Loughton – the ‘Tom Bennett Award’ – giving budding young actors a financial boost in a tough industry. They are also committed to spreading awareness about SAD and related heart conditions, particularly among young men, to help prevent other young lives being curtailed. Georgie set up this fund in 2019 to take donations to CRY from friends and family at her wedding to Nans Addor.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

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.
