Gift Aid - At-Bristol is a charity
If you’re a UK taxpayer and you make a donation that is 10% more than the standard entry fee, the government will give us an extra 25% on top of the total you’ve paid.
It’s called a Gift Aid visit and it makes a massive difference to charities like us.
As a big thank you, we will give more than the 10% back to you in vouchers when you arrive, to spend in the shop or café.
Your thank you vouchers will be with your tickets to collect upon arrival.
At-Bristol is an independent educational charity (no. 1049954). Your donations will go towards our learning and outreach projects, helping us with our mission to make science accessible to all.
Please become a Gift Aid visitor today! Thank you.
