Getting here
Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you pay as a UK taxpayer.

It means that we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration – it’s as simple as ticking a box at checkout when you donate.

This additional support makes a huge difference to our charity, helping us maintain and preserve the historic David Parr House for future generations.
