Charitable donation - can it be tax deducted?

I thought it had to be a UK organisation to get thr benefits so even if the host of other unknowns get sorted its a no goer cause its not UK based.

Correct. Gift Aid is only for UK based charities.
But as charitable donations are tax deductible, and as the OP wants to basically skim the tax off some private health care, the tax deductible route is the better one (albeit not legal).

No i meant the whole thing. If its not a registered UK charity his whole plan falls apart. You cant give to a hospital in Russia even its considered as a caritable organisation in Russia.

Bit of a moot point really as his entire plan is so bad its not gonna work anyway. You dont pay in to a charity to fund one person amongst other holes in his idea.
