Donations

•• I'd like to DONATE NOW ••

There are many ways in which you can donate money to St Luke's. Please click on the link above for further information:

Pay roll giving

Simple, tax-free charitable giving direct from your pay.
Payroll Giving donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give will only cost you 78p, and if you're a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p.
If you employ under 500 staff, find out how your company can get a Government cash incentive of up to £500 for setting up Payroll Giving, and your employees' chosen charities will have their donations matched for the first six months!

Gift aid it

Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, the charity you are supporting will receive an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue, helping your donation go further. This means that £10 can be turned into £12.80 just so long as donations are made through Gift Aid. Imagine what a difference that could make, and it doesn't cost you a thing.

Just Giving

This is fundraising made easy - no more dealing with cash and cheques and no more chasing friends after the event! If you are running a marathon, walking Hadrian's wall or perhaps shaving your head, you can build your own personalised web page, free of charge where friends can sponsor you on line AND every donation from a UK taxpayer will automatically benefit from a 28% bonus! So you do less, but your charity gets more! www.justgiving.com
