How
you can help The Psoriasis Association
In order
to sustain and develop the work of the Association we are constantly looking
at ways to raise funds. We rely on the goodwill, commitment and generosity
of members and others – all efforts are important to us from a coffee
morning to a marathon run to a large legacy. Here are some ideas for how
you might like to help the Psoriasis Association.
Spread
the word – We have got plenty of posters, leaflets and
info-cartes that you could ask to be put up in your local surgery, hospital
or other public place. Please contact the office if you would like to
help us in this way.
Make A Donation
Online
Donation - For
secure online donations please use the Donate Now facility
or follow the secure
link
Postal Donations - You can donate
by post by downloading a donation
form and sending cash / a cheque / or credit/debit card details to
our finance
department
Making Regular Donations
- You can make regular donations to the Psoriasis Association by setting
up a standing order mandate. Simply print off this standing
order form , fill it in and send it back to our finance
department
Gift
Aid – Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give
we get an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue, helping your donation
to go further. This means that £100 can be turned into £128
just so long as donations are made through Gift Aid. This makes a considerable
difference to the Association and doesn't cost you anything. To qualify
for Gift Aid what you pay in income tax or capital gains tax must at least
equal the amount we will claim in the tax year. Gift Aid can be applied
to membership fees, one off donations and sponsorship income, it is just
a question of ticking the relevant box on the membership or sponsorship
form. All we need is one form completed and the declaration will stand
until you notify us otherwise. Simply print off this Gift
Aid form , fill it in and send it back to our finance
department. For further information please feel free to contact Polly
Matthews, our finance officer on 08456 76 00 76, or 01604 251626 or email
polly.matthews@psoriasis-association.org.uk
Give
As You Earn – If your employer runs a GAYE scheme you could
join and make regular donations through your payroll. Persons claiming
a company pension can also give in this way, just speak to the personnel
department. If your work does not have a GAYE scheme why not ask if they
would like to start one? Visit www.giveasyouearn.org
for further information.
