gifts in kind
There are various ways you can support terminally ill local people needing Hospice care, without it necessarily costing you anything.
Do you have a website? Can you put a page about the Hospice on your site, or a link?
Why not include Hospice event literature in mailings, payslips and selected mailings to clients, customers, members and so on...?
Why not consider Pennies from Heaven? http://www.penniesfromheaven.co.uk
In the current economic climate, do some of your staff have spare time?...
Did you know that where a company provides an employee to work for a charity on secondment or a temporary basis, the company can continue to deduct the costs of the employment, including the employee's salary?

Many companies that deal with products often have end of range, short-dated, or over-stock items. Why not consider making a tax-efficient donation to the Hospice?
Extract from HM Revenue & Customs website... If you donate goods that your business makes or sells - your 'trading stock' - to a UK charity or CASC, you can claim the cost of these goods in your business accounts. This applies whether you're a sole trader or in business as a partnership or company. You don't have to include anything in your sales income for the value of the gift. So you can reduce your business's taxable profits by the full cost of the goods.
