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.

Quote from Visitor on Yellow background. One of the best guided tours I have had the pleasure of being on. Informative, personalised, story-driven, fascinating, interactive and contextualised.
Visitor quote on orange background: Very informative tour with a real human history of the house and family. The house was magical.'
