The Breast Cancer Institute of Edinburgh
at the Western General Hospital
There are many ways that you can donate to support the BCI
Online
The BCI is part of NHS Lothian Charity. You can donate to the BCI through the NHS Lothian Charity online donation page. It’s quick, easy, secure and you’ll be helping the BCI continue to make a real difference for patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer. We are incredibly grateful for your support.
When you ‘Donate’ and have selected what type of donation and then the amount – there is an option ‘I would like my donation to…’ and then ‘go towards a specific area and/or hospital’. When you select this option it opens a box where you can add details, including you would like the donation to go to BCI.

NHS Lothian Charity, can claim tax back from HMRC to benefit the BCI fund thanks to the government’s Gift Aid Scheme.

How it works
If you currently pay tax in the UK, and fill in our Gift Aid Declaration when you make a donation, we can claim back 25 pence for every £1 that you donate. So your donation of £30 is worth £37.50 to us, at no extra cost to you.
​
We can claim Gift Aid on any donation you may make in future, or over the previous four years. Donating with Gift Aid does not affect your tax status.
We can only claim Gift Aid on donations made personally by individuals, and not on behalf of a group or from a collection.
