Givingoptions
Find out more about your options for giving effectively.
Donate to an existing collective fund
Join with others to make a bigger impact by donating to these funds, which are already helping hundreds of people across the county.
Create your own fund
We can design a bespoke fund that meets your specific requirements to target the issues you care about in the communities that interest you most.
Leave a gift in your will
Make a lasting impact on the place or cause you care about by setting up a fund or making a bequest. We will make it straightforward and effective.
Tax-effective giving
We are a registered charity so you’ll benefit from tax relief when donating through us. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim back the difference between the higher rates of tax (40 per cent or 45 per cent) and the basic rate (20 per cent) on the total value of the donation.
We also benefit from Gift Aid, which increases the value of your donation by 25 per cent.
You can start your fund with cash, shares, property or investments. We can work with your financial planner, solicitor or other professional adviser to make the set-up process as easy as possible.
