Individual giving
Regular or one-off support. We will talk to you first rather than take money from a form.
Individuals who want to support the work directly
Best for
- Regular monthly support
- One-off gifts
- Giving in memory of someone
We deliberately do not run a one-click donation button. Individual giving is a small share of our income, and we would rather every individual donor has actually spoken to someone here, understands where the money goes and can ask awkward questions first.
If you want to give, write to us and we will send the current audited accounts, explain the options and set it up properly. Tax exemption eligibility is confirmed at that point, not claimed in advance.

Giving is set up directly, with a receipt for every contribution
There is no payment form on this website. Every route ends in a conversation with a person, so nothing is collected from anyone who has not first seen our accounts and had their questions answered. Write to [email protected].
