Individual donors are very important to the Centre and help to ensure the high quality of its facilities and programme. There are several ways you can support the Centre:

Regular Giving

Many people give to charity on a regular monthly or annual basis. The Centre is keen to develop regular giving to supplement the unrestricted core funding we receive from the Public Sector and to grow an income stream that will help us to plan for the future. Regular donors can make an important contribution to the long-term security and viability of the Centre and no matter how large or small the regular gift, it all adds up! If you are interested in supporting the Centre in this way, we can help you set up a regular standing order.

One-off Gifts

Some people like to make single gifts at a time that suits them best such as an anniversary, Christmas or whenever it is convenient to do so. One-off gifts can be ring-fenced for a particular use, or go towards the Centre's annual fundraising target - the funds that have to be raised each year for overheads but which are not attributable to any one aspect of the programme. If you are considering making a gift and would like to speak to someone about the Centre's requirements, please contact Audrey Michel for an informal discussion.

Gift Aid

If you pay UK tax, you can increase the value of your donations to the Wiltshire Music Centre by making a Gift Aid declaration when you become a Friend or Benefactor. This will enable the Centre to claim tax on every payment you make, increasing its value by 28p for every £1 you give.

Legacies

Gifts to charities reduce the inheritance tax that has to be paid, and are a way of continuing to support your favourite organisation. If you enjoy the Wiltshire Music Centre and would like to contribute to its continued success, why not include the Wiltshire Music Centre Trust as a beneficiary in your will, once the needs of your family and friends have been met?

Such gifts give vital support to the work of the Centre and donations of cash or shares are equally welcome. Your money could help disadvantaged young people to benefit from the Centre's outreach educational projects or purchase lasting capital items for the building. Recent legacies have supported a new PA system for public speaking, improvements for disabled access and a much needed fund for equipment which could not otherwise be afforded.

We always respect the wishes of individual donors so if you wish to remain anonymous or to be publicly acknowledged, we will honour your request.
