When you become an LSO Friend, we will store your contact details in order to administer your membership, keeping a record of your gift.

Gift Aid

UK taxpayers can increase the value of their donation to the LSO by allowing us to claim tax relief through the Gift Aid scheme. Higher-rate taxpayers can also reclaim additional personal tax relief. Please select this option above if you are a UK taxpayer.

By ticking the Gift Aid box you declare that you would like to Gift Aid your donation, any donations you have made in the past four years, or will make in the future to the LSO. You declare that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference. The LSO will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you have given.

Please notify the LSO if you wish to cancel your Gift Aid declaration; change your name or home address; or no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.
