Down Syndrome International

UK


By Phone

Call us on +44 (0)20 8614 5124.


Payroll Giving

This is another easy and tax-free way to give by making regular contributions directly from your pay slip if you are based in the UK. You can give donations on a weekly or monthly basis. Each time you are paid, a donation is deducted by your payroll office before tax and sent to us - thereby increasing the value of your gift to us. Visit HMRC's Payroll Giving information page for further guidance on this.


Gift Aid

Increase the value of your donation at no extra cost to you. If you are a UK tax payer, the Gift Aid scheme means your gift can increase in value by nearly a third at no extra cost to you. This would mean that a gift of £5 a month would actually be worth £6.40 a month to Down Syndrome International.

If you would like us to claim back the tax on any donation you make then please contact our International Office to receive a Gift Aid Declaration form. There is no minimum threshold for Gift Aid.

Visit HMRC's Gift Aid information page for further guidance.


Legacies

Leaving a gift in your will is simple and cost effective. You can leave a specific gift (such as stocks and shares, property, a coin collection etc), a monetary sum or a portion of your estate. Please help future generations of people with Down syndrome and consider leaving a gift in your will. For further information on legacies, please email Paul Zanon paul.zanon@downs-syndrome.org.uk or call him on +44 (0)845 230 0372.
