Donations

The Compassionate Friends is funded mainly by donations, membership subscriptions and fundraising from and by bereaved parents and their families, and other supporters.

We receive little funding from government and statutory sources. We need your help to pay for our Helpline, local support groups, publications, website, postal library, and other projects and costs.

Please consider helping us by making a donation, holding a fundraising event or by using one of the fundraising ideas below. Thank you.

Collect Used Postage Stamps for our charity
   I'm not only interested in used stamps, but any philatelic related material, (old stamp albums, stock books, and unwanted stamp collections) as I am trying to raise funds by selling in auctions over the Internet, as well as the more 'normal' method of selling to local stamp dealers.
   I may even be able to find a market for other collectibles (such as phone cards, Pokemon cards, coins, etc.).
   I also could make use of any old (or even new!) stamp catalogues to assist me in valuing the stamps.
Thank you.

Recycle your old mobile phones to raise money for TCF

As well as raising vital funding for The Compassionate Friends, you can provide an affordable first phone for people in the developing world, improving their quality of life, personal safety, and the local economy.

If they cannot be re-used, the toxic components will be recycled, saving energy and cutting the production of greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

More details, and freepost envelopes, are available from the TCF National Office if you interested. (Tel: 0845 120 3785)


Recycled Printer Cartridges

There are over 8 million used printer cartridges thrown away each year in the UK. That's equivalent to an area the size and depth of a football stadium!

Help the environment by sending your used printer or fax cartridges to TCF and we will send them for recycling.

For each cartridge TCF sends for recycling we receive a payment.

Please send yours to: TCF Recycled Cartridges, 53 North Street, Bristol BS3 1EN.

Have you filled in your Gift Aid form?

On April 6 2000 the rules for the Gift Aid scheme changed to allow charities to reclaim tax on a far wider range of donations and other receipts. This could be a major new source of income for TCF if everybody making a donation or paying a membership subscription signed a Gift Aid form.

If you are a tax payer who has completed a Gift Aid form then:

TCF can reclaim 28 pence for every £1 you give. This means a £10 donation generates an additional £2.80 given back to TCF by the taxman. TCF can also reclaim tax on such things as Membership Subscriptions and Leaflet Sponsorship.
You only have to fill the form in once! Everything else is taken care of by the office.

Want to know just how much your donation could be worth? Try out our Gift aid calculator.

To obtain a form please click here, or contact the National Office. It isn’t complicated and it’s an easy way of helping TCF at no further cost to you.
