Please help us make our membership system as
cost-effective and green as possible and help us to
keep subscriptions low
- If you have not already done so, please consider joining our Gift Aid scheme. If you are a UK taxpayer, you can enable us to reclaim tax on your subscription, effectively increasing the amount we receive by 25%. This means that the taxman will give us 25p for every pound you pay. You must be charged Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for the year of donation at least equal to the tax treated as deducted from all Gift Aid donations. The income generated (over £30,000) by this scheme, equates to over £5 per membership and is crucial to us keeping subscriptions as low as possible
- Please consider setting up automatic renewal by Direct Debit as this is the most convenient and cost-effective and green method of payment and saves the Trust money
- Please provide an email address for paperless communications, as this enables us to save on postage costs and is better for the environment
