EXPANSION

THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

The property adjacent to Kelston was acquired between 1984 and 1990, and let out as flats to meet mortgage repayments. Now, twenty years later, we have successfully started the process of expansion by completing Stage 1 of the project through restructuring the mortgage. We have carried out extensive structural works to the enlarged premises and are now benefiting from additional space and new facilities.

We are currently undertaking fund-raising for in the final stage as works start in 2008. Members and parents have a major programme of fund-raising initiatives under way, from record auctions and bike rides to bric-a-brac stalls and car-boot sales. We are currently applying for financial help from grant-giving trusts and companies to run alongside these important efforts.

How you Can Help

DONATIONS

One-off donations for the Kelston Project can be sent in at any time. Cheques should be made payable to ‘The Kelston Project’ and sent to Kelston. Many of our supporters make regular monthly or quarterly donations by setting up a standing order through their bank account. We can supply the forms as required, but initially you may use the form below.

TAX-EFFECTIVE GIVING

With your consent, Kelston as part of NEA is able to claim a further amount from the Inland Revenue equal to 28% of every donation you give us. This scheme is called Gift Aid. The only condition is that the total tax you pay in the year should be more than the amount we claim. If you indicate that you are happy for your donations to be treated as payments under Gift Aid, then we can do the rest.

PAYROLL GIVING

Many employers operate a Payroll Giving Scheme, whereby you instruct them to deduct your donation from your gross salary before tax and to send it directly to the Charity.

HIGHER-RATE TAX PAYERS

If you are a higher-rate taxpayer and you declare your donations on your tax return, you can claim a rebate based on the difference between the higher rate and the basic rate when you fill in your self-assessment form. From April 2004 the self-assessment form allows you to nominate a charity to receive any rebate that you are due. The Inland Revenue will pass the repayment directly on to the charity. So please consider this simple way to add even more to your gift to Kelston.
