Subscribe or Donate to the Diamond Jubilee Appeal

This page is advice for those who would like to choose to either subscribe or donate to The Diamond Jubilee Appeal.

Becoming a Subscriber

The subscriptions run for 60 months at the amount you have chosen to give per month. To sign up you need to complete a STANDING ORDER at your bank - but we've made this easy for you to do. You just download the subscriber form, complete it, and send it off BY POST to the address shown on it. We're doing it this way as it's safer - we do not want your bank details on the Internet - SO DON'T E-MAIL THE FORM. We are not doing a Direct Debit, as once you have signed up, the subscription amounts are fixed, so a Standing Order is best.

Please fill in all the address details. We would like to be able to get in touch with you, and to do that we would like your address, telephone number and e-mail address.

If you donate £1,500 or more, either as a single Donation or as a Monthly Bronze or Silver Subscriber for 5 years, we will give you 5 years membership of either the Ffestiniog Railway Society or the Welsh Highland Railway Society/ Cymdeithas Rheilffordd Eryri.

If you donate £6,000 or more, either as a single Donation or as a Monthly Gold Subscriber for 5 years, we will give you 5 years membership of both the Ffestiniog Railway Society and the Welsh Highland Railway Society/ Cymdeithas Rheilffordd Eryri.

GIFT AID : The government will give back tax paid by UK taxpayers from charitable donations made by cheque or bankers order to the FR Trust. The extra benefit to the appeal that this money brings is considerable. Please will you take a moment to fill in these details on your form, in order to qualify for this extra boost. For those paying Higher Rate Tax, you get back the difference between high and low rates!

Making a Donation

Some people don't want the fuss of becoming a Subscriber, or they don't want to give on a regular basis. If that's you, and you just want to give something to help the Diamond Jubilee Appeal along, then download the donation form and complete it according to the instructions. Any donation you make, large or small is welcome. If you pay income tax, please fill in the details for gift aid, as it increases your donation to the railway by up to one-quarter.
