The Friends of the Royal Engineers Museum (FoREM) exists to support the Royal Engineers Museum by promoting and encouraging knowledge of and interest in the activities and work of this Designated Museum. FoREM members help the Museum in many ways: · By publicising the Museum and its activities. · In running local groups to take the story of the Royal Engineers and their Museum to a wider audience. · By fund raising, particularly for the acquisition of new exhibits and the conservation of items already held. · By assisting the Museum staff, as guides, in research, transcribing documents, model making and in many other ways.

So why not join us? Membership offers free admission to the Museum, an annual newsletter, and if you live in Kent, the Medway Group holds regular meetings including lectures and activities. More information about FoREM and the Museum can be found on the Museum’s web site at:

I wish the charity to treat all gifts of money that I have made in the past four years, and all future gifts of money that I make from the date of this declaration, as Gift Aid donations, until I notify you otherwise. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Notes:

1. If your declaration covers donations you may make in the future:

Please notify the charity if you change your name or address while the declaration is still in force.

You can cancel the declaration at any time by notifying the charity - it will then not apply to donations you make on or after the date of cancellation or such later date as you specify.

2. You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 25p for each £1 you give).

3. If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and Capital gains equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you can cancel your declaration (see Note 1).

4. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return.

5. If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, ask the charity, or you can ask your local tax office for leaflet IR 113 Gift Aid.
