Preserving a place. Connecting people.

Share your skills
Help with research, documentation, events, photography, outreach or social-media activity.
Support its future
Give voluntarily each month to support the castle owner's Baltersan-related work.
How to join
Choose your place in the Fellowship
All levels are voluntary. These are non-charitable supporter arrangements organised by Lichtsome Hoose Ltd, the private owner of the castle. Monthly figures are suggested giving levels, not separate Buy Me a Coffee membership plans. No level confers rights over the property.

To give monthly, select the monthly option on Buy Me a Coffee and check the amount and currency before confirming. The current Buy Me a Coffee page does not automatically enrol you in a particular Fellowship tier. Contact us to request recognition and confirm your preferred level. Recurring payments continue until cancelled under the payment provider terms. Paid support is a voluntary ongoing contribution, not a charitable membership subscription, investment or purchase of rights. Benefits described are goodwill acknowledgements, subject to availability.
Participate in the Fellowship
Your contribution can be more than money.
There is room for historians, local residents, archivists, artists, musicians, experienced conservation volunteers and people who can help tell Baltersan's story online.
Offer your helpPlease understand who you are supporting
The Fellowship is organised by Lichtsome Hoose Ltd, the private limited company that owns Baltersan Castle. Financial contributions are paid to the company and may support conservation-related planning, care, historic research and heritage activities, including related costs. These are not donations to a registered charity; Gift Aid is unavailable.
Contributions are intended to support Lichtsome Hoose Ltd and its castle-related activities, but this existing external checkout may display Baltersan 1584 as the campaign/payee name. Check that information before payment. Receipts supporting the company will be separately tracked for transparency but not held in a separate charitable trust. The castle may be sold or transferred, and support does not create property, investment, voting, repayment or sale-proceeds rights. Regular support may be cancelled prospectively. Read the full contribution disclosure before paying.
