As a charity, we need to raise in excess of £400,000 (£33 per guest per night) a year to provide vital bursary support to disabled guests who would not be able to visit us without financial assistance, to replace and renew essential specialist equipment, and offer a variety of fun evening entertainment.

We don’t receive any government funding so every gift, no matter how large or small is vital to help us achieve this target, and 100% of every £1 you donate will go directly towards our vital work.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme operated by the UK Government which allows registered charities to reclaim the 25% tax paid on any donation. In other words, for every £1 donated, we can claim an additional 25p from the government at no extra cost to yourself.

To qualify for this rebate, donors must be over the age of 18, paying income tax and living in the UK.

Please also remember that if you are taking part in a sponsored event, the pledges of your supporters may also qualify for Gift Aid. Please make sure they include the appropriate information and tick the Gift Aid box if they are happy to do so.

You can find out more about Gift Aid from the HMRC Website

So much of what we do at Calvert Trust Exmoor couldn’t happen without the support of organisations who share our vision, and play a vital role in helping us to help our guests, and we are immensely grateful for all the help and support we receive.

From bursary support to allow guests to visit, to purchasing essential equipment, to capital projects to build much needed facilities, the ongoing support of grant making trusts and foundations is vital to allow us to enable people with all types of disability to overcome challenges and find out that “it’s what you can do that counts”.
