How Can You Make A Donation?

Donate Online

We’ve teamed up with JustGiving, the UK’s leading online fundraising website, so you can donate and raise funds for us online. Using JustGiving saves us costs and reduces our admin burden, so going online is by far the most efficient way of supporting us. It’s easy to make a single or monthly donation with a credit or debit card online.

JustGiving reclaims Gift Aid automatically and pays donations to us directly at the end of every week. The site is 100% secure. It’s really easy for you to raise money for us by creating an online fundraising page on JustGiving. It takes just a few minutes and you can collect donations for any sponsored event or appeal.

Fundraising pages are just like paper sponsorship forms, except they’re online, so you don’t have to spend time collecting cash and cheques. Just personalise your page with a photo and message and email the web address to all your contacts. Then your friends, family, colleagues and anyone else can make a donation through your page from anywhere in the world.

You can create a fundraising page for absolutely anything. You could get sponsored to run, swim, cycle, get fit, grow a moustache or have your head shaved. You can even create a page in memory of someone or instead of wedding gifts. The only limit is your imagination.

If you have any questions, or need any help, you can contact the Justgiving helpdesk on 0845 021 2110 or help@justgiving.com from Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm. For more information, please call Abby on 01761 470006. Also, if you log in to your charity account you can grab the JustGiving ‘create a page’ or ‘donate’ buttons. Just go to: www.justgiving.com/goldenoldies

Make an Individual Donation

Individual gifts make a huge difference to the work we do. Cheques should be made payable to Golden-Oldies and sent to Abby Rakes, Golden-Oldies, The Old Chapel, The Mead, Farmborough, Bath, BA2 0AF.

Make a Lasting Gift

Remembering Golden-Oldies in your will is a tax efficient way of giving. There are two ways to give to Golden-Oldies in your will.

Pecuniary Legacy - You can choose to give a gift of a fixed amount of money. This is called a pecuniary legacy.

Residuary Legacy - Or you can choose to leave a share, or the whole, of what is left of your estate once you have provided for your loved ones.

Gift Aid

If you are a UK Taxpayer, please remember that you can Gift Aid your donation and it won't cost you a penny. Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your donation, by allowing us to reclaim the tax on your gift, at no cost to you. For example, if you donate £100 using Gift Aid this would be worth £128.20 to us (if you are a basic 22% tax rate payer). You can use Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer and the amount of tax you have paid in any tax year is at least equal to the amount the we are reclaiming on your behalf.For further information about donating to Golden-Oldies please email hiho@golden-oldies.org.uk or telephone 01761 470006.
