The Future of Great Dixter

Careful thought has been given to a sympathetic, but thorough programme that will secure the future of Great Dixter, without compromising any of its essential character.

The cost of the programme has been estimated at £8million and work began in 2007 to secure the funding. We are now well on our way to achieving this target, with a £4million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a further £2million from major donors.

See some of the great coverage we have had ! click here...

This puts the Great Dixter Charitable Trust in a position to secure full ownership of the Great Dixter estate and to purchase the redundant Dixter Farm buildings, which will become student accommodation and learning facilities.

We still have £2million to raise and your support would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a donation, please download a donation form here

Through Gift Aid you can help us make your donations go 28% further and it won’t cost you a penny!

So long as you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by 28p for every £1 you give (25p in Gift Aid and a further 3p in Transitional Relief). What is more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations, enabling you to reclaim as much as 25p from every £1 donated to charity.

To donate through Gift Aid, all you need to do is complete the declaration on our donation form confirming that you are a taxpayer and that you are happy for us to claim tax relief on your donation. Just one declaration can apply to all donations that you have made to us over the past 6 years and to any forthcoming gifts you make, until you notify us otherwise.

It is that simple!
Please remember to make donations payable to The Great Dixter Charitable Trust Completed forms and donations should be sent to:
