BANK TRANSFER TO SPEAR

A great way to donate directly to SPEAR on a one off basis.  Please tell us when you have made the transfer so we can thank you, unless of course you wish to remain anonymous.

Bank Name: CAF Bank,  Sort Code: 405240,  Account Number: 00092188

If you have set up your own charitable giving account to help manage your personal charitable giving to SPEAR and other charities, then please also keep us posted with your SPEAR donations, so we can keep updated with thanking you; unless of course you wish to remain anonymous.

CHEQUE OR CASH

If donating via cheque, please make payable to: SPEAR.

Please post to: 9 Briar Road, Twickenham, TW2 6RB. For cash please also deliver directly to the office to a SPEAR staff member.

PAYROLL GIVING

If you are working for a company that already has a Payroll Giving scheme set up, you can speak to your payroll department to request giving a regular donation to SPEAR tax free, i.e. the donation is taken out of your salary before you are taxed.  This means the donation costs you less than it would after you are taxed.  If your company doesn’t have a Payroll Giving scheme set up then please contact SPEAR fundraising and we can discuss with your company the process of setting one up for employees.  If you are a company wishing to set up a Payroll Giving scheme for your employees, there is also more information on approved Payroll Giving companies from the government here

LEAVE US A LEGACY

Help our work live on.  If you have remembered SPEAR in your will, intend to do so, or would like more information please let us know at fundraising@spearlondon.org.

REMEMBER TO CLAIM THE GIFT AID

For ALL donations (except payroll giving), don’t forget if you are a UK tax payer, SPEAR can claim Gift Aid on your donation, so please also fill in our updated Gift Aid declaration form

25p for every £1 donated can be gift aided, meaning the charity raises an extra 25 per £1 donated.

BE AWARE OF PERSONAL TAX BENEFITS OF CHARITABLE GIVING

If you complete a tax return each year, then be sure to keep track of your charitable giving so you can off set this against tax you pay.  Some individuals who give regularly to charity set up their own Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) account (or another account similar to this) to keep track of and manage their personal charitable giving.  You can find more information about charitable giving and tax here:

We strive to find secure accommodation for people who are sleeping rough and work together towards a positive future.

No matter how big or small, we really appreciate every single donation that you can give.
