Support Our Clients

Whilst we receive funding for most of our services, your support will enable us to see more people in need, continue with a service when funding ceases, and provide essential items to help clients live independently. There are several ways you can support us through donations or fundraising.

We appreciate whatever you can give because your donation will make a difference and be used to provide support to people facing complex life challenges. This could be someone who has no recourse to public funds so is unable to claim benefits, a young person living in supported accommodation, or someone who has been sleeping rough.

Donate

You can donate online – one-off or set up a monthly donation directly through our website. We recognise that some people prefer to send us their donation as a cheque. If this suits you best please make the cheque payable to Connection Support and send it to:

Finance Department

You can also transfer your fundraising donation directly to our bank account or set up a standing order donation. If you’d like our bank details or a standing order form please contact our Finance Department.

Online Shopping

Shop&Give (powered by The Giving Machine)

The Giving Machine Donate

Every year online shops pay millions in sales commissions to other websites that direct shoppers to them (e.g. voucher code websites). The Shop&Give platform (powered by The Giving Machine) turns these commissions into donations without it costing anyone a penny more. Please join and select Connection Support as your chosen charity to generate free donations for our clients.
