The Fund receives no direct Government assistance, except for Gift Aid on qualifying donations. All donations are from private individuals and institutions such as Freemason’s Lodges, with a small amount deriving from corporations.  Golf Days, sponsored runs, such as the London Marathon and other similar events, all help to generate funds. 

A donation can be made by direct payment, bank transfer, direct debit or by leaving a legacy in your will.  To donate now please visit our secure donation page at JustGiving.com

Remember that if you area UK taxpayer, the Fund can claim Gift Aid from HMRC (the old Inland Revenue and HM Customs) if you complete a Gift Aid Declaration.  Gift Aid is worth another 28p in every £ you donate!
