Ready to join one of the most exciting projects in UK Preservation?
It’s only through our members generous help that we can build 6880.
If you are a UK Taxpayer we can also take advantage of the Gift Aid Scheme, where for every £1 you donate we can claim approximately an extra 28p. This means a £10 donation can become £12.80 at no extra cost to you. We can make this claim for both one -off donations and the regular contributions from our membership fees.
The majority of the money spent on 6880 is raised through charitable donations. These can be through a one off contribution or as a regular subscription. There are 3 types of membership schemes available for willing subscribers. The cost and length of membership for each scheme is given below, with a list of all the incentives shown for each individual scheme.
