How to leave a donation

Ways to donate

If you would like to leave a one off donation, or set up monthly giving, we welcome donations by JustGiving, post, BACS and CAF.

Donate online through JustGiving

It’s quick and easy to leave a donation through our JustGiving page, and you are able to:

– Give a one off personal donation or a donation in memory of a loved one
– Pay in a fundraising collection

You can also set up your own fundraising event link, allowing people to donate individually and it will go straight through to the ASF page.

Donate through the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)

The CAF provides a simple online service to allow people to donate to multiple charities and keep track of their donations through their account. You can donate with your credit or debit card, or through your PayPal account.

To donate to the ASF, click the button below, and enter “Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation” as our (historical) charity name.

Donate via post with a cheque

If you would like to send your donation or collection to us through the post, please do so with a cheque. We kindly ask that cash not be sent through the post for security reasons. Please make cheques payable to ”Andrew Simpson Foundation” and ensure they are signed and dated. When ready to send, please post your cheque to:

Andrew Simpson Foundation Head Office
Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy
Osprey Quay, Portland, DT5 1SA

Donate by bank transfer online or in person

You can send a donation directly from your bank, either online or in person at your local branch. Please call our team on +44 300 140 9985 or email them at enquiries@andrewsimpsonfoundation.org and they will be able to send you our account information.

Gift aid declaration

By signing up to Gift Aid when you donate to Andrew Simpson Foundation, you can make it worth more, at no extra cost to you. These extra funds mean we can help to transform the lives of more young people.

If you’ve paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, so you can give even more to the causes you care about.

For every £1 you give…

85p goes directly to our charitable programmes that transform young people’s lives.
15p is spent on support costs and fundraising so that we can access more communities and provide more opportunities to uplift young people’s lives.
Your support makes a real and measurable difference.
