GIFT AID

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid a way for the museum to claim the tax back on your admission or donation from the government, at no additional cost to you

If you are a UK tax payer you can opt to Gift Aid your ticket. It doesn’t cost you extra to Gift Aid your ticket, but you must pay tax equivalent to all your Gift Aid charitable donations in each tax year.

Our standard Museum admission tickets allow the ticket holder re-entry for one year.

As a registered charity (Charity No: 1169842), your generous donations make a real difference to our work and allow us to continue to fulfil our mission to share the cultural and artistic importance of stained glass with everyone, thank you!

Gift Aid terms and conditions

Your ticket receipt will confirm that you give consent for The Stained Glass Museum to reclaim tax on the donation detailed on your ticket, given on the date shown.

If you pay less Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your charitable donations it is your responsibility to pay any difference. The donation you are making is equivalent to the Charity’s museum admission prices for the group who are entering the museum. The Charity will claim the tax on your donation (currently 25p on every £1 given).

Please notify the Charity (The Stained Glass Museum, South Triforium, Ely Cathedral, The College, Ely, CB7 4D) if you wish to cancel your 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 rate you can claim further relief on your self-assessment tax return.

Please complete and sign a Gift Aid declaration form and return to us if you are able to.
