Gift aid

Making a gift aid declaration

If you are a UK taxpayer, have a membership subscription, or have made donations to the Trust, you could increase the value of every £1 you give to £1.25, by joining the Gift Aid scheme. And it's at no cost to you.

Gift Aid allows us to reclaim from the Government the tax that you have already paid on your membership subscriptions and donations. If all our members agreed to Gift Aid we could claim millions of pounds more each year - vital extra funds that would help us in our important work.

To make your subscription worth even more to us, all you need to do is download the declaration form (PDF/36KB) and return it to: The National Trust, FREEPOST NAT9775, Warrington, WA5 7BR
