Terms and Conditions
Here’s the boring (but essential) bit: you can pay annually or quarterly, and each scheme level is made up of a suggested donation amount (which is given voluntarily, and Gift Aid provisions apply) and a benefit value (£60), which is the minimum amount to secure each level if you don't wish to support our charitable aims and the local community.
