Support UsWe need you to support us. The Society is a registered charity and depends entirely on donations to carry out the restoration of Shelsley Watermill. The majority of the work on the mill is being done by a dedicated team of unpaid volunteers but there are some tasks that we cannot undertake ourselves and we have to pay to have done. From time to time we make appeals for donations in kind and we have been lucky to have received building materials both new and recovered. Other donors have given the Society free use of equipment, either at the mill or at industrial sites. We are grateful for all these donations and would like to thank all our donors. Not all expenses can be met by donations in kind and the Society always seems to be short of money. As we are a charity, registered as such in the United Kingdom, we can claim tax relief on donations made by UK taxpayers. This Gift Aid enables the Society to recover the Income Tax paid by the donor on his or her donation and increases the value of that donation by 28%. If you would rather use traditional methods of payment donations can be sent to Shelsley Watermill Society, Midland Automobile Club, Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, Worcester, WR6 6RP.
