How to give

There are several different ways you can give to us. The most convenient for us is direct giving by internet banking, but we are very happy to receive donations by any of the following methods.

If you are a UK tax payer, please consider using Gift Aid for your donations.

Internet Banking

If you would like to use internet banking to make a regular or one-off gift to The Bridge Trust Ltd, or if you want to make an international transfer to our account, please email donate@thebridgetrustltd.org  and we will send you the account details you will need.

Virgin Money Giving

You can set up one-off or regular giving to The Bridge Trust Ltd through Virgin Money Giving.

Important information about Virgin Money Giving

VMG have announced that they are to close from the end of November 2021. If you give to us through them, you can continue to do so until then, but after that you will need to use one of the other methods listed on this page. Please contact us if you need further information. We are looking into adding other methods of giving, and we’ll update the information here in due course.

PayPal

You can give to The Bridge Trust Ltd using Paypal from your own PayPal account or with a debit or credit card.

CAF (Charities Aid Foundation)

We are registered with CAF, so you can also give to us through them.

Thanks!

Thank you for helping make a difference. We appreciate your contribution to this important work.

What your money can do

• £5 a month provides a daily meal for a slum school pupil or one health worker’s medical supplies.
• £10 pays the wages of a health care worker for one week.
• £25 a month pays for the food for a child in the Love India Children’s Home.
• £50 a month pays for a health care worker’s wages and medical supplies.
• Donations for  the Sachibondu rural health clinic will be used to help with  running costs. Although the clinic is a government clinic, the poverty in the nation means that often salaries and medicines are not covered.
• Unrestricted  gifts are vital as they can be used to  enable the work of the Trust to continue and grow where specifically targeted donations do not cover the full costs of the projects.

We will always earmark any money you give for a specific project.

How we ensure your money is well used

We only work with people and projects with whom we have an established relationship, and visit them at least once a year. This means that we can be sure that all the money we raise reaches its intended destination whether it be to help educate a child in Delhi, treat an ill person in Zambia or provide business training and leadership development. It also enables us to gain a better understanding of what they face daily, and gives us the opportunity to work alongside them.
