Gift Aid
For all grades of membership (except corporate), you are given the option to choose whether your donation to us is eligible for gift aid or not. For this declaration to be valid you must be paying income or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax to be reclaimed by the charity (currently 28p for each £1 donated).
If you declare that your donation is eligible for Gift Aid, you are confirming that you want the charity to treat your donations as a Gift Aid donation, and/or all other donations that you make from the date of this declaration to be eligible until you notify us otherwise.
It is the intention of the trust to restore No. 3170 to operate as an autocar under it’s own power. However, should funds not be sufficient or other circumstances occur which prevent this, it is our intention to restore the vehicle as a non-powered coach.
