Donations
Why does CONTACT need donations?
People sometimes ask why a scheme which is largely about giving time needs people to give money, too. Yet CONTACT would not be able to function without funds to support the costs of:
- Funding food for, and transport to, Contact parties
- Paying the Contact Worker
- Running costs e.g. stationery, etc.
- Improvements, e.g. new equipment
How to Donate
You can give a one-off or a regular donation. Regular donations give Contact financial stability, one-off donations help top up the accounts and pay for other costs. Thanks to the Gift Aid Scheme, UK taxpayers can help us make their donation go further, by allowing us to claim back any tax they may have paid on that sum. This can increase the value of a donation by over 20%.

Running scared?
Got anything planned for 2007?
No, I didn't think so. So why not run the 2007 London Marathon for CONTACT? Recently, our Chairman, a weedy, scrawny historian with little experience of running, took part and came 13,567th. He also raised a thousand pounds for CONTACT from friends, colleagues and rivals who felt that sponsoring him for a fiver was cheaper than hiring a hitman (and, they believed, would be just as effective). Suffice it to say here that running the Marathon is a great challenge, which everyone should take on at least once in their lives. Running for CONTACT won't make miles 24-26 any less painful, but it will certainly make it more rewarding. To find out more, email the Chairman or click here.
