A vision for the future...

[The WHR Ltd C&W team] The year is 2009... and you're sampling the first class luxury of a vintage carriage as the magnificent Snowdonia scenery unfolds around you.

The Welsh Highland Railway will be one of the world's greatest railway journeys, and we aim to re-create the spirit of the 1920s with a train of authentic carriages.

Some of these are already in service, but need further restoration work to return them to their former glory.

We need your help to make our vision a reality...

Tax Benefits from your Gifts

Under new rules from 6 April 2000 any gift can qualify for a tax repayment of 28p for every pound to the Company, if you are a UK taxpayer. There is no need to sign a deed of covenant for regular payments, and there is now no minimum for one-off payments. All you need to do is complete the simple declaration below. You should only do this if you are sure you will pay enough income tax in the year to cover the tax repayments. Higher rate taxpayers can continue to claim higher rate tax relief on their tax returns.

To: Welsh Highland Railway Ltd (registered charity no. 1039817) I want you to treat all donations I have made since 6 April 2000, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise as Gift Aid donations.

Give As You Earn

For the next three years the UK government will add 10% to all donations through the Give As You Earn payroll deduction scheme. Under this scheme you can make a donation out of pre-tax income and basic rate tax relief is given through the PAYE system. Please ask if your employer operates a scheme.

Example: you donate £12.80 per month and your net pay reduces by £10 per month. The total donations to charity will be £12.80 + 10% = £14.08 (less any administration charges).

Data Protection & Your Privacy

We will keep a record of your name and address and donation(s) on a computer. Data so held will not be released to third parties, but we may contact you from time to time regarding the progress of this appeal.
