Charity Deductions

In the US, we have a significantly lower tax payment each year due to donations we make to charity. Is there a similar benefit in the UK based on charitable donations? I can't find much about this on the tax sites out there, so I thought maybe someone here would be able to provide some insight.

this is the only thing i could find

I think this might be a better link ..... Gift Aid.
