Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Lake District Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Lake District Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Lake District Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Lake District Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Lake District Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Donation Total: £20.00 One Time

The view from Orrest Head is spectacular, but not everyone has been able to get there to enjoy it because the top section of path is too steep and difficult.

We wanted to create an alternative path to this special viewpoint suitable for people with limited mobility, including people with powered-wheelchairs and families with pushchairs.

We needed funding to:

  • Restore a section of Victorian carriage drive and create an accessible path to the viewpoint;
  • Improve the water drainage and restore the eroded summit landscape;
  • Replace the worn-out seating;
  • Provide more information about the area and
    the view;
  • Involve local children in a project to create a new logo to waymark the route;
  • Provide an all-terrain Lake District Mobility scooter for people to borrow to get to the viewpoint (outstanding).

Thank you for helping us to reach our fundraising target, but please help us to now maintain this amazing resource.
