Have you enjoyed our Monday concerts?

Would you like future generations to enjoy live music in their local community?

Calendar year 2006 is the Diamond Jubilee of Luton Music Club.  60 years of producing its’ unique series of Monday concerts is a significant milestone few other music societies can match.  It is a time to celebrate past achievements but also a time to consider the future.   We are proud of our established musical tradition but we are also conscious of the heritage we hand to future generations of music lovers.

Unfortunately it is a sad fact that in today’s world of instantly available entertainment the future of such musical excellence is far from assured.

Virtually all organisations who promote classical music concerts to live audiences rely to some extent on charitable donations from well wishers.

Donations

Luton Music Club (reg charity no 264659) is very grateful for the support of its members who generously donate to the Club’s finances.  If you would like to make a donation please contact the Membership Secretary:

John Savage, 16 Lakeside, Tring, HP23 5HN

Gift Aid Donations

If you are a UK tax payer you can increase the value of your donation to the Club by signing a Gift Aid form at no extra cost to you!  Under Gift Aid the charity can recover the basic rate tax on your donation provided you pay income tax (including tax deducted on any wage or salary under PAYE rules) or capital gains tax sufficient to cover the donation made.  This means that, at no extra cost to you, every £10 donated is worth £12.80 to the Club.  There is an added incentive for higher rate tax payers - it is possible to recover the difference between the basic rate and the higher rate as tax relief on your annual return.

If you would like your donation to be given under Gift Aid please contact the Membership Secretary for a declaration form.

Legacies

Leaving a gift in your Will to Luton Music Club is one very effective way of helping to ensure the future of your club.

You don't have to be rich, famous or old to include a gift to a charity such as Luton Music Club in your Will. Any gift or donation, large or small, will be used for funding voluntary run music activities enabling the club to continue producing concerts for succeeding generations.

If, like many people, you already have a Will it is possible to add a legacy in the form of a codicil which your solicitor can arrange for you.  Alternatively you can download a simple codicil form and guidance notes from this website which you can use without incurring legal fees.
