Jumping out of a plane or running a marathon or doing anything that your friends and families might like to sponsor – losing weight or giving up smoking perhaps - can bring in vital funds for our services. If you are interested in undertaking a sponsored event then contact the office and we will be happy to offer you all the support that we can.

Why not donate your lunch money once a month? For just one day, week or month why not donate the money you spend on your lunch to pay for a meal for a service user? We promise that our food will be just as good!

Remember, if you are a UK tax payer and wish to donate the government will turn every £1 you give into £1.28 so please let us know if you wish to Gift Aid your donation.

A very simple thing that you can also do and that won’t cost a penny is to tell all your friends and family about The Food Chain and encourage them to get involved either as financial supporters or volunteers.

If you prefer, you could donate regularly directly from your wages via the Give As You Earn scheme. You will need your workplace to agree to this. As above, your donation immediately grows by £3 for every £10 donated. Perhaps you could encourage your colleagues to join you and initiate a larger scale Give As You Earn programme in your company.
