Gift Aid

If you are a UK tax payer and wish to gift aid your subscription, this will boost your donation by 25% at no cost to you. Gift aid is then reclaimed by HWu3a from the tax you pay for the current tax year. You may cancel your gift aid at any time by notifying the Membership Secretary. You must also notify our Membership Secretary if you no longer pay sufficient tax or change your address.

To gift aid your subscription, simply tick the box in the on line form or paper-based form. In ticking the box, you confirm that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of gift aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year, you are responsible for paying any difference.
