Gift Aid comes from the money the individual is liable to pay in tax - if you don't pay tax, you can't claim Gift Aid or the higher rate rebate. The government is only refunding your own money, not other taxpayers' money.

You can argue that if he didn't give the money to charity, the tax on it would all go to the public purse, but you don't get to choose what it's spent on, so it seems churlish to complain about the money going to a charity, even if the charity isn't particularly active. He can't get the donation back.

Your excellent reply does not  however, fit with the narrative that is being spun.

It is his club and stadium he can host who he damn well wants, I would not dictate who you could entertain in your house,

this thread is getting ridiculous  

No it's not, he's the caretaker. Just like anybody who buys an house, eventually you sell it on or pass it on.  Selling it on is easier if it has a roof and windows left.

When I was buying a house in Derby, I went to see a lovely one. You couldn’t get in the front door because there was a sofa blocking it, I had to come in round the back. I couldn’t go down to check out the cellar, because there was a chest of draws blocking the entrance.  The bathroom was borderline falling apart, but she had a bidet in there. And my *God*, was the current owner proud of that bidet. I think she thought it would sell the house purely on its own ceramic merits.  Needless to say, I passed on that. Feel free to draw your own parallels or conclusions from that little story…

This thread has been very informative, particularly as I'm setting up my own charity.

Crusade Against Self Harm will be launching shortly, contact me if you'd like to donate. 

As we launch, we'll only be able to accept donations by Cheque, but no need to squeeze the charity name onto the top line, just use the appropriate acronym and the money will help those who need it most.

Thanks in advance.

Don't let Derby City Council find out, they will be charging him Council tax on PP as a Second home

Anyone know what this charity actually does in detail (they have no website) and how one might apply for a grant?

Something in the financial returns about specialist treatment for sports injuries that aren't available on the NHS

is he just funding our injury room in a tax efficient manner?

I wonder if Keogh was able to take advantage of it.

Is the land leasehold?

I honestly don't know, but if it is then sure he's a caretaker kind of, if it isn't then he is the owner not the caretaker.

If you buy a freehold property then what makes you a caretaker?

I'm struggling to follow the logic on this one tbh.

For which I'm positive he deserves lots of commendations.

But what has he done for DCFC is the point in question.

Exactly. There are lot's of charitable people and many of them do work anonymously. However this forum is about DCFC the concern is related to how Mr Morris is running the club and, the desperate situation that has developed during his tenure.

I viewed a house 4 years ago and the owner was so proud to have a bidet, horrible things, I didn't buy the house, but not for that reason though.  Its all down to perspective..............
