Kelston 25-Year Expansion Project
________________________________________

The 25-Year Expansion Project is a plan for a three-fold increase in the size of Kelston to allow for the simultaneous use of the premises by a greater number of young people

The property adjacent to Kelston was acquired in 1984 and let out as flats to meet mortgage repayments. We began the first stages of the development project in 2001 and have excellent new facilities in full use. We are on target to complete the 25-year expansion plan in 2009 and have secured an interest-free loan to finance most of the final works.

We are currently undertaking fund-raising to meet the loan repayments and seeking support to complete the works. Members and parents have a major programme of fund-raising initiatives under way, from auctions and bike rides to bric-a-brac stalls and special headline events. We are seeking private donations from all those who appreciate the work which Kelston does for young people in these important years of their lives. We are also applying for financial help from grant-giving trusts and companies to run alongside these other efforts.

TAX-EFFECTIVE GIVING

Many of our supporters make regular monthly or quarterly donations by setting up a standing order through their bank account. With your consent, Kelston as part of the Netherhall Educational Association, is able to claim a further amount from HM Revenue & Customs equal to 25% 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. The forms required are:

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. 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 more to your gift to Kelston.

Kelston is a part of Netherhall Educational Association, a registered charity. The charity number is No. 236586
