Your donation would help to deliver our Long Term Vision and Strategy, to become one of the very best Golf Clubs in West Lothian. As a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), we have a pivotal role to play as a key sporting and social hub for the local community
Please note that as a CASC, we have charitable status, and you can claim Gift Aid on your donation, which (if you are a UK tax payer) will increase the value of your donation. The CASC name is ‘West Lothian Golf Club’.

Gift Aid
Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) Gift Aid Declaration – single donation
Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate
Gift Aid is reclaimed by the Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
Please notify the CASC if you:
- want to cancel this declaration
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gain
If you pay Income Tax at a higher rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HMRC to adjust your tax code.
