Every pound you raise through donations and fundraising is used to enhance the projects we currently run to help support our local service users. Making a financial donation is the quickest and easiest way to do this.
Online donations
You can make a secure donation by credit/debit card right now by clicking here.
We use an external site called Smartgive to process donations securely and efficiently. There is a small administration fee, but unlike many of the online donation websites, this is charged to the donator, not to the charity!
Donations by post
You may also send cheques to us by post. Please make cheques payable to East Berkshire Mind Ltd and send to the head office address listed on the Contacts page.
Please send your cheque with the donation form which you can download here.
Increase the value of your donation through Gift Aid
If you make a donation and also pay tax, East Berkshire Mind can claim the tax back again from the Inland Revenue. When making a donation online or by post, please tick the ‘giftaid it’ box if you are eligible, to turn every £1 of your donation into £1.28! For more information on giftaid, visit the Directgov website for a ‘user friendly’ explanation.
