Gift Aid

West Dean Gardens is part of The Edward James Foundation, a registered educational charity. If you are a UK taxpayer and opt to pay by Gift Aid, the Foundation is able to treat the whole payment as a charitable donation and claim 25p for every £1 from the Government. This will further benefit the work of the Gardens and the Foundation. Please click on the following link for more information on West Dean's Gift Aid.

As a ‘thank you’ for your donation, we will give you vouchers to spend in the Gardens Shop or Restaurant which, if you were planning to use either of these, will actually reduce the cost of your visit. Please click on the following link to download a Gift Aid Declaration Form to complete before your visit.
