Top ten ways you can support Mindroom

 

 

  • Choose Gift Aid when you make a donation, (if you are a UK tax payer). Mindroom can claim an additional 28p for each pound you donate at no cost to you from HMRC.

  • Shop! Go to www.buy.at/mindroom for all your online purchases and Mindroom receives a donation, at no cost to yourself.

 

  • Nominate Mindroom for support whenever you can! Waitrose Supermarkets have a monthly community support scheme where customers can choose which charity they would like to support. Please choose Mindroom- a win win situation!

 

  • Walk, run, cycle, drive, jump, swim, swim with sharks, read or have a sponsored silence- whatever is right for you! You can set up a web page for donations.

 

  • Organise a ceilidh, a coffee morning, a cocktail evening, a disco, a quiz, a fashion show- whatever suits you and your friends.

 

  • Tell your friends about Mindroom- they might like to find out more, support us, or have a friend who could help.

  • Corporate sponsorship- Choose Mindroom as your Charity of the Year, have a dress down day, staff raffle or set your staff a challenge as a team building opportunity.

 

  • Ask your staff to give through Payroll giving. Click here to the Give Online website. The Giving Online link is a facility for Mindroom to recruit Payroll Giving donations from your website, or you can promote the link to anyone. Any donors received from this form are completely free of charge!
    We process the donor form in the usual way and set it up with the payroll department and charity agency.

  • Leave us a gift in your will: a gift can help ensure that Mindroom is able to continue to support future children and their families, it could help with research into the causes of learning difficualties or providing education and training for professionals and carers.

Anything you can give, or do, will help make a difference.
