Fundraising

Making the Thames accessible takes a huge amount of effort and every donation makes a difference to the people using our services. Your donations help make our programmes affordable to our clients, ensuring we can run them every year.

How we use donations

A £1,000 donation pays for a full day six-hour therapeutic river cruise for 12 passengers, a £345 gift pays for an Eco Venturers class for 30 students in need and £30 gifts a spot for a young person on a half-day three-hour river cruise.

We have a variety of giving methods listed below to suit everyone.

Remember to use Gift Aid

The Gift Aid form can be downloaded here (which we prefer) or just send a covering letter to us including your full name and address, your postcode and a statement granting us permission to claim Gift Aid. Under the Gift Aid scheme, we can reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every donation given by an eligible UK taxpayer so every £1 becomes £1.25.
