How you can help
Donations
One of the simplest ways you can help is by clicking on the secure link below and making a donation. Every donation no matter how big or small helps us make a difference and will be used wisely to ensure maximum benefit for local families.
Gift Aid
The Government's Gift Aid scheme means you can help us get more money at no additional cost to you. For every £1 you give to us, we can claim 25p from the government for Families Talking!
If you are a *UK tax payer please download our Gift Aid form and send it to us with your donation (*You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that the charity will reclaim on your behalf for that tax year.)
Fundraising events
Have you got a great fundraising idea you’d like to share with us or could you hold a fundraising event on our behalf? Perhaps you know work colleagues, friends or family who might like to get involved or have fundraised before? We are always looking for new ideas and fun ways to raise much needed funds and would love to hear from you!
Be a Volunteer
We value the support of volunteers to help us with all aspects of running our organisation from office duties to fundraising. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, no matter how many or few hours you could offer, we would love to hear from you.
Corporate support
Corporate partnerships can bring mutual benefits to both companies and charities. Your business or organisation could support our work by:
- Helping us to raise awareness of family issues in the workplace
- Encouraging employees to volunteer their time to help with activities and projects
- Tax efficient donations
- Sharing best practice in Corporate Social Responsibility
- Providing access to useful networks
- Donating gifts-in kind such as professional expertise, equipment and resources
In return we can support your company in several ways such as raising its profile in your customers' communities, introduce you to new useful networks and offer family issues awareness training to your organisation.
Many companies are enjoying the benefits of corporate giving that include enhanced reputation in the community, improved staff and customer loyalty, competitive advantage and development opportunities for staff. Click here to see a list of our supporters to date.
