Some National Trust properties operate the Gift Aid Admission scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, non-members are offered a choice of two entry tickets:-
- Standard admission; or
- Gift Aid Admission
The Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions enable the National Trust to reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* - an extra 28 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to property funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £4 to the National Trust as shown below:
|
| Amount paid by visitor
| Tax refund from Government*
| Total received by the National Trust
|
| Gift Aid admission |
£11.00 |
£3.10 |
£14.10 |
| Standard admission |
£10.00 |
£0.00 |
£10.00 |
Money raised from this scheme goes towards vital conservation and restoration projects at the property. Payment of the additional 10 per cent donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
Most National Trust members already pay their subscriptions using Gift Aid, helping us to reclaim many millions of pounds every year at no extra cost to themselves. If you are a member and are not already paying in this way, you can make a Gift Aid declaration to the Trust online or you can make your declaration by simply telephoning the membership department on 0844 800 1895.
*Gift Aid donations must be supported by a valid Gift Aid declaration and a Gift Aid declaration can only cover donations made by an individual for him/herself or for him/herself and members of his/her family.
