Throughout lockdown, the Nightshelter has provided a safe place for people experiencing homelessness to stay ‘home’ 24 hours a day, every day. As lockdown eases, we don’t want this to end just yet. We are determined to keep our extended opening hours for as long as possible so that our residents can continue to be on site 24 hours a day, but we need your help to make this happen.
Through our Stay 24/7 Appeal, we hope to raise the funds to keep our increased hours over coming weeks. Any donation you can make, big or small, will help us to continue our round-the-clock support for people who are currently homeless.
Any donation you can make, big or small, will help us to continue our round-the-clock support for people who are currently homeless. Help us to Stay 24/7 for as long as possible by donating either online, via text or contact us about other ways to donate.
Our preferred online donation method
You can make a regular or one-off donation using debit card, credit card or Paypal through CAF – Charities Aid Foundation. This is our preferred method of online donation because we can more easily re-claim Gift Aid tax relief so more of your money is used to help people experiencing homelessness.
Other ways to donate online
Donate via text to 70085
For one-off text donations please text NIGHTSHELTER followed by the amount you would like to give (£2, £5, £10 or £20) to 70085. (Eg, NIGHTSHELTER £10.) You will receive a text message confirming your donation with an invitation to opt in to Gift Aid the donation.
Payroll Giving
Giving to charity through your payroll has the advantage of the donation being deducted before tax. So not only is it easier for you as the donor, but it is also tax efficient and costs less to give more.
It is also simple to change your donation amount or stop it at anytime by informing your payroll department.
If you would like to find out more about payroll giving please contact us to discuss the options, email admin@winchesterbeacon.org.uk or call 01962 862050.
