Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Koestler Arts to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Koestler Arts we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Koestler Arts to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Koestler Arts will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

Affordable Art Fair

Hampstead Heath

11-14 May 2023

We were delighted to be chosen as the official Charity Partner of The Affordable Art Fair for their Hampstead fair Spring 2023! On display we had fantastic artwork made by Koestler Awards entrants and mentees, as well as information about our programmes and how people could get involved or support our work.

All money raised from the fair, through artwork sales and donations, is going to support our mentoring scheme, which matches ex-prisoners with trained arts mentors in their area, to help them develop their artistic practice and become a part of their community.
