Unless I've missed something, this gift aid is money we could be
reclaiming from the government to supplement donations, but aren't
able to. We're not actually paying it in tax.
The difference is limited in practice - the government still gets
money that we don't - but it is a bit confusing to treat it as a
£200,000 outgoing when we never actually see it.

Rexx is referring to gift aid on the global WMF
fundraiser, which isn't
collected at all because the fundraising is done by the WMF these days,
rather than ourselves. WMF cannot collect gift aid.

That's outrageous. Why are we wasting money?

About £200,000 per year. It's a pity Amazon isn't as publicly spirited as
WMUK.
