Gift Aid

We are a charity dedicated to preserving Chalice Well and the land that surrounds this ancient holy Well, in perpetuity.

If you are a UK taxpayer and provide us with a Gift Aid declaration, we can reclaim 25p for every £1 you give us. Gift Aid is a UK Government scheme where charities can reclaim money from HM Revenue & Customs, on your contribution, which helps to keep the garden and the Well looked after for everyone to enjoy.

Making a Gift Aid Declaration

Gift Aid allows us to reclaim from the Government the tax that you pay on garden entry, Companionship of the Well, or an Annual Garden Pass. Please consider saying ‘Yes’ to Gift Aid so that we may claim extra funds, helping us safeguard the Well and gardens.

More about Gift Aid

  • We can reclaim an extra 25% of the price of your Garden Entry tickets, Companionship or Annual Garden Pass
  • Anyone who is a UK income or capital gains taxpayer can make a Gift Aid declaration – you just need to pay enough tax to cover all your donations to charity 
  • You will be able to choose every time you purchase an Annual Garden Pass, Companionship or Garden Day Ticket whether Gift Aid is right for you
  • We cannot claim Gift Aid on any donations made via tax efficient giving mechanisms such as CAF, as these payments have already had tax relief applied

Gift Aid on Entry, How it helps us

Gift Aid on Entry

The Chalice Well has a Gift Aid on Entry scheme at the Gatehouse. Under this scheme, if you are not an Annual Garden Pass or Companionship holder, you have the choice of multiple price points for entry. It is completely up to you which ticket you choose, just let our Volunteer at the Gatehouse know.

How Gift Aid Admission helps us

Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent. A significant boost to the charity every year.
