Support Us
There are a number of ways you can support the Scotland’s Churches Trust:
Donations
Donations are a very important form of income for SCT. They are gratefully received, however large or small.
Under the Gift Aid scheme the Trust can increase your donation by recovering tax you have paid in your donation at no additional cost to you.
If you would like to make a donation there are a number of ways in which you can give:
- Direct to our bank account:
Please email us so that we may give you the account details and write to thank you!
- Send a cheque to us at:

If you are a UK taxpayer and wish to make use of the government Gift Aid Scheme (at no cost to yourself) please email office@scotlandschurchestrust.org.uk stating that you agree with the following statement: “I am a UK tax payer and wish to Gift Aid all donations made to Scotland’s Churches Trust. I also agree with the SCT privacy policy as described at https://scotlandschurchestrust.org.uk/about-sct/privacy-policy “.
Your gift is much appreciated.
Thank you again.
Donations of Shares
If you donate shares to charity their market value is deducted from your taxable income and you have no capital gains tax to pay.
Legacy
Please kindly remember this Trust when making or altering your Will. As a general rule assets bequeathed (or gifted) to charities are exempted from capital gains tax and inheritance tax.
Other ways to support us
If you are accustomed to giving substantial sums to several charities you are probably aware of other tax-efficient methods such as giving through the Charities Aid Foundation, King’s Hill, West Mailing, Kent ME19 4TA, or setting up a private charitable trust.
The Hon Treasurer will be pleased to explain any points not clear to you from these brief notes, please feel free to contact us.
