Can I claim on my tax return for money given to charity?

My accountant rung me up and said '...you don't have to worry about money no more. And I said that's good! One less thing'

There are rules for claiming for charitable donations.
Giving the odd pound to someone in the street, doesn't count.
However if the donation is regular and made by direct debit, then from what I understand, it is allowable.
Best bet is to phone the help line, remembering to make a note of the name of the person you speak to, along with the time and date of the call and the telephone number called.
