Responsibilities of Charity Trustees
Gift Aid
Our charity status gives us a tax advantage; we can claim a tax refund from the Inland Revenue for those subscriptions and donations paid out of a member’s taxed income. You can add a massive 25% to the value of your subscription or donation simply by completing a Gift Aid Declaration Form. The declaration form for those first applying to join the Society appears at the end of the Membership Application Form; the form for existing members appears separately.
Our Committee
The Society’s affairs are run by our Trustees meeting as our Executive Committee four times a year. It is supported by a series of sub-committees and working parties to cover our wide range of activities, interests and responsibilities.
Safeguarding
The Society operates two safeguarding policies, for Children and for Vulnerable Adults, which are reviewed regularly and updated as required. These can be viewed here.
AGMs
These are held in March or April each year, usually in Exeter and provide members with an opportunity to review the past year’s activities with the Executive Committee, for more details, click here.
