Gift Aid it!

The Government has a special scheme for charities like We The Curious. If you chose to add a voluntary 10% donation to your ticket price and you’re a UK tax payer, we’re allowed to claim Gift Aid on the whole amount you’ve paid. Your collective donations help thousands of children who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to visit, to come for free.
