Making a donation:
Every donation, no matter how small or large, will generate benefits for charity and the people it helps.
There are many ways to donate:
- Make a one off donation - share your good fortune from a lottery win, work or savings bonus
- Set up a regular donation - through payroll giving or direct debit
- Donate & Celebrate - christenings, anniversaries, retirements...whatever your occasion to celebrate invite your guests to donate instead of buying gifts. Or donate as an alternative to giving out wedding favours
- Leave a legacy - leaving something in your Will can make a real difference and is simple and straight forward to do.
- Set up a Fund - to improve the lives of children today and in the future in memory of a loved one

Remember...The Gift Aid scheme enables charities to reclaim the tax you paid on the value of your donation. For a basic rate tax payer this means that every £10 donated using Gift Aid, is worth £12 to our charity. Charitable legacies reduce your inheritance tax liability. Our charity number is 1133293
