There are a number of ways you can financially help us.

  • Direct donations of cash
  • Becoming a member and a subscriber
  • Making purchases from some online retailers

Direct Donations

This can be made online using JustGiving (preferably) or PayPal. JustGiving handles GiftAid (if you are entitled to it) which boost your donation by an additional 25% which is very significant.

You can also donate money by putting it in any of the donation tins within the space. If you can, put in an envelope and let us know who you are - that way we can thank you!
