    HOW PAPWORTH CAN BE HELPED There are several ways in which help may be given to Papworth. I.—GENERAL DONATIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS These are particularly welcome, whether large or small in amount, as they can be applied to whichever object most needs help at any moment. A Donation and/6r Subscription Form is inset. 2.—SEVEN-YEAR SUBSCRIPTIONS If a benefactor is willing to subscribe for seven years, Income Tax may be recovered and the value of the subscription DOUBLED at no additional cost to the subscriber. The great value of this scheme is shown by the following examples :— Subscriber's Annual Payment £ s. d. I I 0 5 5 0 50 0 0 100 0 0 Tax Refund Obtainable £ s. d. I I 0 5 5 0 50 0 0 100 0 0 Total received by Papworth £ s. d. 2 2 0 10 10 0 100 0 0 200 0 0 These figures are calculated with tax at 10/- in the £. An increase in tax increases the amounts in the second and third columns, the subscriber’s payment (on the basis of the agreement reproduced on the inset) remaining the same. A further advantage—to subscribers—is that those who are sur-tax payers may claim exemptions from sur-tax upon the gross amount shown in the third column. Papworth already has more than 300 seven-year subscribers and more are urgently needed. 3—SPECIAL DONATIONS It is sometimes desired to create a permanent and practical memorial, or to associate a name with a gift. Papworth is always delighted to give effect to such wishes and on the donation form inset there is an indication of some special gifts which are always welcome. 4. —REVERSIONS It sometimes happens that prospective donors who would like to give Papworth whole buildings (such as those indicated on the donation form) feel unable to do so during their lifetimes and determine to deal with the matter by testamentary bequest. This means, unfortunately, that-Papworth is deprived of the pleasure of thanking them for their kindness. To overcome this, Papworth suggests that donors may like to consider putting into trust sums sufficient to meet the cost of these buildings, plus cost of discounting, on terms providing for the income to be paid to the donors during their lifetimes, the capital becoming the property of Papworth at their death. Upon the execution of such a trust the donors would themselves have the pleasure of seeing the buildings erected, named as desired, and brought into use as a result of their kindness: this of course, being subject, in war time, to the issue of the necessary licences. 5. —PERSONAL SERVICE Papworth has generous friends in many parts of the country, and if any can give time and help in organising events for Papworth's benefit, their aid will be immensely appreciated. 6. —BEQUESTS In response to requests, a draft form of bequest is printed below :— /GIVE and bequeath to the Papworth Village Settlement, Incorporated, whose registered office is at Papworth Hall, in the County of Cambridge, the sum of £ to be applied for the purposes of the said Settlement, and I direct the said legacy to be paid free of Death Duties as soon as conveniently may be after my death. We can operate this scheme in resoect of all nett subscriptions of 10 - or over provided that some part of the subscriber's income is subject to tax at the full rate. [20]
