Gift Aid Scheme For Annual Subscription
The Society has negotiated with the Inland Revenue to be able to reclaim Gift Aid on annual subscriptions, for those persons registered for the Gift Aid Scheme. Members who complete an Annual Tax Return are therefore asked to include relevant details of their subscription in their return. Paragraph Q15A of the Return is applicable.
Giving Through the self-assessment tax return
The Society has negotiated with the Inland Revenue to participate in the new scheme allowing members to nominate the Society to receive their tax repayments as a donation. This scheme applies to Self Assessment Tax Returns only. Members wishing to participate in the Scheme should complete paragraph Q10A of their Tax return. The Charity code to be quoted there is: ZAF17MG

The society depends upon several ways to raise funds for the day to day running costs of the Heritage Centre and the maintenance of the archives and artefacts. We rely initially on membership fees, gifts and donations.
We also run a Heritage draw and have raffles at the various functions we hold. Membership fees are seen as the foundation of our fundraising and we are always encouraging more people to join the Society. Being called a 'History'    Society does not mean you have to be above a certain age to join! We need young people to take an interest in what is and will be their heritage - as well as keeping the older members younger!


One of our projects is to make an electronic record of all our archives and eventually have them available for retrieval by the public.
A considerable undertaking in view of their size and content. We cannot of course do this without equipment such as an A3 scanner, additional computer and so on.

 

There is also our shop where various gifts, mementos,
mugs and stationery such as Christmas cards and calendars are available for sale.
The shop is now proving to be very popular and one of
the main fundraising projects. Or you can simply put any
of your unwanted hard-earned cash in our milk churn at the
Heritage Centre............please!


We are now promoting our online shopping facility and full information can be found on the webshop page.
