Gift Aid It
Bath Preservation Trust is a registered charity and you can support our charitable aims through Gift Aid. Under the Gift Aid scheme, instead of paying an admission charge, you can now donate the same amount.
When you donate, you will be asked to confirm whether or not you are a UK taxpayer. Tax can only be reclaimed on donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year.
We can then recover tax on your donation. To us, that’s worth an extra 25p for every £1 you give. All you need to do is complete a simple declaration when you arrive. To help in this way you must be a UK taxpayer. Your details will remain confidential.
Why your donation is so valuable to the Bath Preservation Trust
As well as running four museums – the Museum of Bath Architecture, No.1 Royal Crescent, the Herschel Museum of Astronomy and Beckford’s Tower and Museum – the Bath Preservation Trust run a highly successful education programme, which recently earned a prestigious Sandford Award, and undertake vital campaigning work to protect the status of Bath as a World Heritage Site. We do all of this with no assistance from public funding which is why your ongoing financial support is so essential. Your donation is therefore vital to help us with our work.
