What is Gift Aid?
If you are a UK taxpayer and you make a voluntary donation of at least 10% of your admission fee, we can claim Gift Aid. As we are a registered charity (No. 1191207), Gift Aid means that we get an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you have spent. This helps us to feed and care for our birds.
