Gift Aid
I am a UK taxpayer and 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, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Please notify Woodcraft Folk if you: want to cancel this declaration; change your name or home address; no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

Optional donation

Woodcraft Folk relies on donations to fund our work. It costs £39 a year to support each volunteer with training, insurance, and specialist advice, but we don’t exclude those who can’t donate. If you can, please donate to cover your volunteering costs - if you can donate more, you can support volunteers who can't afford to donate, and fund our charitable work with young people. Every donation helps, even if you don't feel able to donate the suggested £39.
