Make a real difference to people's lives

Although most of our services are paid for by local authorities, we need your help to fund other vital projects that support people with learning disabilities.

We recently started an important project that will enable people with learning disabilities to be as fully involved as possible in decisions that affect their lives. With your support, we can make a difference in so many other ways.

For example, your donation could help to:

Provide computers for the people we support
Pay for advocacy services for people with learning disabilities
Provide training for the people we support so they can be more involved in recruiting the staff that work with them
Fund our next conference for the people we support. This is a great opportunity for people to speak out about the issues that affect them, get more involved in Walsingham and make friends.

You can help us in a variety of ways:

Buy our Christmas cards - 50% off in our January sale
Donate by cheque
Give regularly by setting up a standing order
Make regular donations from your salary
Leave a legacy
Give shares
Increase the value of your donation through Gift Aid
Take part in a fundraising event

Buy our Christmas cards - 50% off in our January sale!

Our Christmas cards have been designed by people we support. These cards are being sold in packs of 12 (2 cards of each design per pack) and cost £1.80 per pack.

All profits from the sale of these cards will go towards our projects for people with learning disabilities.

Please fill in our Christmas Card Order Form (this is in PDF format) if you would like to support our work by buying these cards and send it with a cheque made payable to 'Walsingham' to: Paul Snell, Walsingham, Walsingham House, 1331-1337 High Road, Whetstone, London N20 9HR. You can also request a form by contacting us on 020 8343 5600.

Donate by cheque

If you would like to make a donation, please fill in our Donation Form (this is in PDF format) and send it with a cheque made payable to 'Walsingham' to: Finance Department, Walsingham, Walsingham House, 1331-1337 High Road, Whetstone, London N20 9HR.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your donation by 28% without it costing you a penny more!

Give regularly by setting up a standing order

Regular donations help us to plan for the future of the people with learning disabilities that we support.

You can change or stop your regular donation at any time by contacting your bank.

Make regular donations from your salary

You can make regular donations directly from your salary if your employer runs a payroll giving scheme - and you only have to fill in a form once! The advantage of payroll giving is that we can reclaim the tax from the Inland Revenue at no cost to you - and the Government will then give us an extra 10% on top of this until April 2004! This extra money will help us fund even more vital projects.

Donation	Cost to you (22% taxpayer)	Cost to you (40% taxpayer)	Received by Walsingham (including Government's extra 10%)
£10	£7.80	£6.00	£11.00
£30	£23.40	£18.00	£33.00

To find out more, contact your Payroll Department or visit www.givingcampaign.org.uk. If your employer does not run a payroll giving scheme, you might like to consider giving regularly via a standing order instead.

Leave a legacy

By remembering Walsingham in your Will, you will have a positive impact on the lives of future generations of people with learning disabilities. Legacies help us to fund projects that really make a difference to the lives of people we support.

For more information on how to leave a gift to Walsingham in your Will, please email donations@walsingham.com or contact our Finance Department on 020 8343 5600.

Give shares

You can help support our projects for people with learning disabilities by giving shares to Walsingham. You choose exactly how many shares - large or small - you want to give. What's more, you may be able to get tax relief at the same time. To find out more about share giving, visit www.givingcampaign.org.uk.

Increase the value of your donation through Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your donation by 28% without it costing you a penny more! Simply sign the Gift Aid section of our Donation Form (this is in PDF format) - this allows us to reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue and so get even more funds for our vital projects.

What's more, if you are a higher-rate taxpayer, you can benefit as well by reclaiming the extra tax (18%) when you next fill in your tax return. A £10 donation would therefore cost you only £7.70.

Donation	Cost to you of Gift Aid donation (22% taxpayer)	Cost to you of Gift Aid donation (40% taxpayer who reclaims extra tax)	Received by Walsingham (including Gift Aid)
£10	£10	£7.70	£12.80
£30	£30	£23.10	£38.40

For more information about Gift Aid, email us at donations@walsingham.com or visit www.givingcampaign.org.uk.
