Martin Swainson, L&BR Trust Treasurer, has just received payment from HM Revenue and Customs in response to the Trust's latest claim for Gift Aid.

The claim, covering the six months from 1st January 2012, means that the railway is now better off to the tune of:

  • All Aboard Fund: £6,456
  • GMEF: £365
  • Heritage Coach Fund: £1,769
  • Unrestricted Funds: £6,842
Total £15,432 - all courtesy of the taxman!!!
Martin says:
"Many thanks to you all, who have made these claims possible. We need every £ to rebuild OUR railway, so if you can, and have not, please do sign a gift aid declaration."
