Donate
We have now signed up with justgiving.com which means that you can donate online, or create your own sponsorship page to generate interest in your event and collect the money.
Giftaid it!
This is a fantastically easy way for you to add to the money you raise! Children First Lewisham can reclaim the tax on all donations through the Gift aid scheme with no added cost to the donor. Currently we can claim 28p in every £1, so if you were to donate £250 we could claim an extra £70, and even for a £5 donation we could claim an extra £1.40.
The donor has to be an UK-tax payer and we MUST have their consent and full HOME address details. There is a giftaid form and sponsorship form on the fundraising page.
If you are sending a cheque in your name to cover several smaller cash donations Children First Lewisham still need the donor’s details for each donation that your cheque covers in order for us to claim back the tax. We can claim Gift Aid back only from personal cheques from UK tax-payers. Company cheques, CAF cheques and cheques from charitable trusts already include the tax benefit.
Donate your time and skills
Children First Lewisham is a small charity which would benefit greatly from your talents and time. Do you have skills in public relations or creating publicity materials (eg posters, leaflets or photography); or do you have administrative or other skills?
Your talents could help us to continue to support the children, young people and families of Lewisham and continue to make Kaleidoscope the centre they need and deserve. If you want to help, please write to Children First Lewisham at the address below.
