Charitable work

Service is part of the culture, not an add-on.

Freemasonry has a long tradition of charitable giving and community service. Covenant Lodge contributes through fundraising, donations, and practical support for causes that matter.

Gift Aid is a UK tax incentive that allows charities to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers.

How Gift Aid works

Gift Aid lets charities reclaim 25p for every £1 you donate

You must be a UK taxpayer to qualify for Gift Aid

The charity claims the tax back from HMRC. It costs you nothing extra

You can declare Gift Aid on event donations, one-off gifts, and regular contributions

Higher-rate taxpayers can also claim the difference on their Self Assessment

When you make a donation through our platform, you can opt in to Gift Aid at checkout. The declaration is managed digitally, with no paper forms required.
