"In memoriam" donations

In memoriam donations are commonly given direct by cheque or cash to the Charity Office, through the staff on the ward or via funeral directors. In all cases please let us know (preferably in writing) in whose memory the donation is being given. Please also provide your name and address so that we send you a receipt and acknowledgement.  Please use the individual donation form available from the link at the top of the page.

Completing a simple Gift Aid Declaration form (see following for sample) enables the charity to reclaim 25p in the pound back from Inland Revenue.  Donations to be eligible must relate to a donation given by an individual donor who has paid sufficient tax in the current tax year to equal or exceed the tax rebate that would thus become reclaimable to the charity.

When supplying your contact details please be assured that you will not be bombarded with appeal letters and other literature. Firstly, we have better uses for our funds than expensive mail shots and secondly, we respect your privacy and will not add you to the mailing list if that is your wish.  Currently we send out three newsletters a year, plus an invitation to Light Up A Life towards the end of the year.

If you are giving on behalf of a company or association  it will be assumed that your donation is in the public domain and might be published on this website, in our newsletter or on site notice boards. If it is your intention that no public acknowledgement be made, please advise us at the onset. Thank you.

If you wish to make payment from overseas, please contact us.
