Gift Aid
Gift Aid offers an additional way to support the Museum at no extra cost to you. If you are a UK Tax payer, using Gift Aid means that for every £1 you give we get an extra 25 pence from the government, helping to make your gift go even further.
For example:
Your donation: £100
Gift Aid from Government: £25
Total Value of your gift: £125
Legacies
A legacy is a great way of supporting the museum for generations to come, by remembering us with a gift in your will and allowing you to make a lasting difference to the work of the Museum.
There are several ways you can leave money to the museum in your will:
• A pecuniary gift: a fixed sum of money decided by you.
• A residuary gift: the amount of the whole or portion of your estate after other legacies, inheritance tax and expenses have been paid.
• A specific gift: a bequest of specific personal possessions such as a clock, watch or other timepiece.
• In-memory donations in lieu of flowers or via collections in support of the Museum of Timekeeping are also another option.
