Don't think it has to cash all the time although we happy to receive
lots of it, of course, hence our Donate button at the right of the screen.
However, you can donate in other ways too.
We have
other pages dedicated to different forms of fundraising such as recycling, our
wish list and organising your own fundraising events but here we'll add to the
various ways to donate money and items.

If you
wish to remember us and for us to remember you in a special way, you could
leave us a legacy, remembering us in your will. It might not be the
cheeriest thought to approach but real nonetheless. If you have or
thinking of making a will, speak to your solicitor about the best way to leave
a legacy.
Leaving a gift to charity in your will keeps your money
working toward the causes that are important to you as well as making the
burden of inheritance tax lighter.
Particularly, although not exclusively, aimed at business, entrepreneurs, consultants, universities and professionals.

Quite a bit to say in here so best leave it to someone else to explain how it works for companies, individuals and for charities.
Self Assessment Tax Return. *** HMRC ARE CLOSING THIS OPTION IN APRIL 2012***
Anyone
completing a Self Assessment tax return can donate some or all of their tax
refund direct to charity without having to wait to receive the refund from HM
Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
This is a simple and effective way to raise money for charity. The donation is
paid straight into the charity's back account by HMRC, along with any Gift Aid
repayment that applies. You don't have to do any extra paperwork to claim the
Gift Aid back, it's all done by HMRC.
The benefits of Self Assessment Giving.
For charities:
Your charity receives the donation directly into its bank account. Any Gift Aid
donations and tax are paid automatically by HMRC - you don't have to make a
separate claim.
For donors:
Once you have completed your Self Assessment tax return you also complete a
'Giving your tax repayment to charity' form. You can choose to make a donation
(including the Gift Aid element) to charity anonymously. Taxpayers do not have
to wait until they receive their refund from HMRC before making a donation to
charity.
Our unique reference number
If you wish to donate to us this way you will need to quote our unique
reference number on your paperwork.
