Gift Aid

Boost Your Impact: Why Choose Gift Aid?

When you make a donation to the National Museum of The Royal Navy, you're supporting the vital work of preserving world-famous ships and bringing incredible historical artifacts to life for the public. But there’s a simple, powerful way to make your generosity go even further: Gift Aid!

 

The Power of 25% Extra—At No Cost to You!

Gift Aid is an incredible scheme that allows us, as a charity, to reclaim the tax you've already paid on your donation. Here's what that means in plain terms:

  • For every £1 you spend, we can reclaim 25p from the government.
  • That's an extra 25% added to your support—without costing you an extra penny!

Every single penny counts for a charity like ours. By selecting a Gift Aid ticket option, you are instantly multiplying your impact and giving us more resources to continue our valuable work, whether it’s the conservation of majestic vessels or the creation of inspiring new exhibitions.

Adding Gift Aid is straightforward. Just choose one of the Gift Aid ticket options when you book.

What you need to know:

  • You must be a current UK taxpayer. We need your address to confirm this with HMRC.
  • It's claimed from your tax. We reclaim the tax from the income and/or capital gains tax you've paid for the current tax year.

A note on refunds: Tickets that include Gift Aid are subject to HMRC regulations and are not eligible for a refund.
