If you would like to make a donation using bank transfer, please complete the following form. Your details will be e-mailed to us and we will respond with bank account details. Fields marked with an * are mandatory fields.
If you would prefer to pay by PayPal, then follow this link to our online shop. PayPal will take a percentage of your donation so if you want all of your donation to go to the building of Hengist, bank transfer is better.
Gift Aid is a scheme which allows the Clan Project to claim from HMRC, the basic rate of tax their donors have paid. Gift Aid increases the value of donations by 25%, so it means even more money goes to the project – and it won't cost you extra. To allow us to claim Gift Aid, you must be a UK taxpayer and supply your address.
