Please help the future of our hobby and make a donation no matter how small to this worthwhile cause. You can donate online today by just clicking here or if you prefer you can download a donation form (PDF format 45kb).
Both methods provide opportunities to enhance your donation by allowing us to reclaim the income tax you may have paid through “gift Aid” (full details below).
If you prefer there are other ways you can give to the RCF listed below:
Payroll Giving
If your employer offers a Payroll Giving scheme you can make a charitable donation each month that gives you tax relief at your top rate of tax. This method allows you to make a regular donation with the minimum of effort. The Charity receives the donation gross so that there is no tax to reclaim from the Inland Revenue and saving time and paperwork compared with Gift Aid.
Giving certain shares or securities
Individuals can claim a deduction for the gift against their income for income tax purposes. No tax is deducted from the gift so the charity does not need to reclaim any tax from the Inland Revenue in connection with the gift.
Other methods of making donations
- You may consider leaving a bequest to the Charity in your will;
- Perhaps through fund raising events / club events;
- Or of course you may make a donation at any time.
In these cases please advise the treasurer of your donation or intention so that we can ensure it is directed to the Charity's bank account and that acknowledgement letters are sent out quickly.
Gift Aid
By allowing us to reclaim “Gift Aid” on your behalf you can make your donation worth more. For every pound you give to us, we get an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue. (You must pay an amount of income tax and / or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year).
To be able to do this we will ask you to make a simple declaration saying that you want to reclaim Gift Aid. This declaration can be made in writing (click here for a form) , by e-mail or orally. A copy will be forwarded to you if you indicate your intention for Gift Aid to be applied for.
Alternatively you can click here to donate on-line with electronic confirmation.
