Set up a Named Fund
We provide the means for individuals and organisations to establish their own charitable ‘funds’ which benefit local people. It is very straightforward to set up a Named Fund and is a simple alternative to a private Charitable Trust, offering great flexibility without the administrative burdens. We offer all the pleasure of giving without any of the hassle. |

Become a Friend
You can join our Friends scheme with a minimum donation of £25 per annum. We would ask you to spread the word about the Foundation and what it does. We will keep you up to date with our work through Newsletters and the Annual Report. |

Leave a Legacy
You can leave a legacy in your will to the Foundation, either to support our general work, to support a particular area or establish your own Named Fund. |

Make a donation
You can make a one-off payment, give on an ad-hoc basis or set up a regular donation; but whatever the size, a few pounds or a considerable sum of money, it will make a difference. You can specify where you would like your money to be spent: towards a particular issue or community; or you can make an unrestricted donation allowing the Foundation to exercise its discretion on the expenditure. |

Gift of Shares
A tax efficient way of giving where the benefit to the charity may be many times more than the cost to the donor. Individuals can reclaim tax relief rebate of up to 40% of the full market value of the quoted shares, and be exempt from any capital gains.
Companies can claim a deduction on the gift of shares for Corporation Tax purposes in addition to the relief from Corporation Tax on Capital Gains. |

Gift of Land and Buildings
As of April 2002, Gifts of land and buildings are entitled to tax relief based on the market value of the land or buildings at the time of the gift. |

Working with Charitable Trusts
Local, independent Charitable Trusts are important community assets, providing financial resources when and where they are most needed. There are times, however, when such Trusts might need a helping hand. |
