Wendover Arm Trust

We’ve been asked recently about why it is that it isn’t currently possible to donate funds to us online.  Which is a really good question.

It’s certainly a situation we would love to change, and there is a little bit of the chicken and egg scenario going on.  We’ve previously allowed online donations but the take up was quite low and didn’t cover the monthly cost of having the facility, so it was in fact costing us money to allow online donations.

Admitedly this was a couple of years ago, and we all know that people are now more willing to pay for things online, so take up may now be a little better, especially as we’ve improved our website and our overall online presence.  So it’s definitely something we’re looking at bringing back with the next set of online improvements.

In the meantime, we’re afraid that you’ll need to continue with the old fashioned way of downloading our Donation Form and sending to the address highlighted within it.  You could also make a contribution to our Blockaid campaign, as donations for this campaign can be sent via FREEPOST, so you don’t even need a stamp.

However you donate, we thank you for doing so

We’ve been thinking recently in our fundraising committee meetings about how we can help people help us.  We know that people want to help, because when we speak to them they say they do (and people don’t lie!), so we thought “how can we make it easier for people to fundraise on our behalf?”

So we’ve come up with a guide to Top tips for fundraising for the Wendover Arm Trust which people can use to give them inspiration, or think through the steps to having a successful fundraising event.  It even includes a sponsorship form if you need one.

Please do download and use, or send on to your friends.  The more fundraisers we have, the more funds we receive, and the more work we can do on the restoration.

Of course, if you have any tops tips youself, then do let us know and we can share them with the world
