The Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team is a registered charity - No. 513913.

In order to fund the purchase of our equipment. specialist rescue kit and first aid supplies we have to rely almost entirely on voluntary donations.

We train as a team throughout the year and send team members on courses in casualty care, search management and rescue techniques. We also train with other agencies, ie. The Police, Search and Rescue Helicopters and the Ambulance service.

We are proud that we provide a first class rescue service for the casualty on the hill.

Making your donation go further - ‘Gift Aid It!’
Gift Aid allows us as a charity to claim from the Inland Revenue tax paid on a donation made by any tax-paying donor. As the current basic rate of income tax is 22%, this means that we can claim an extra 28p for every £1 you actually give us. As long as you are an UK taxpayer all you have to do is to fill in and sign a simple Gift Aid Declaration.

Do I have to make more than one donation?
No. Although we would benefit from a regular donation there is no obligation at all for you to do this. Each single pound attracts an extra 28p.

What if I’ve made another donation in the past?
Tax on any donation you have made since April 6th, 2000 can also be claimed as long as you made it by cheque, Standing Order or Direct Debit so that it may be verified.

What about future donations I might want to make?
Once you have completed the Gift Aid Declaration, any subsequent donations you make will automatically qualify for reclaiming tax.

What if I’m a higher rate taxpayer?
If you pay tax at the higher rate, currently 40%, you can also claim tax relief for yourself of 18% of your gross donation (this is the difference between the standard rate and the higher rate).

What if I’m no longer a taxpayer?
We will write to you at the end of every financial year that you made a donation to us. As long as you are a taxpayer you will need to keep this letter if you have to fill in a tax form. If your circumstances change so that you no longer pay tax it is important that you let us know as soon as possible so that we do not make any further claims on your donations.

How can I make my donation?
Donations can be made by cheque, payable to ‘Llanberis Mountain Rescue’. If you want to make a regular donation then we could set up a Standing Order or Direct Debit.
