UK Address




I want to Gift Aid my donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to Arvon.

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference:

Please notify  Arvon if you: 

 – want to cancel this declaration
 – want to 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 or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
