FacebookSubscriptions
Our subs are currently £156 per annum which, we break down into 12 equal monthly payment of £13 per month to make it affordable to parents. Payment is via the Localgiving website. When making a payment or, setting up a Direct Debit, please claim ‘Gift Aid’ on the page following the payment page if, you pay tax. This gives us approximately £30 per year which we pass back in subsidies on events and outings. If you do not pay tax please log on as someone who does e.g. Sister child's Grandparent Partner etc you can still pay from your bank account.
Subscriptions are handled by Jacqui Hansell, our Rainbow Unit Administrator. She will contact you from time to time about, making your payment at a particular time during a Localgiving ‘Grow Your Tenner Campaign’.
Important - When making a payment to Localgiving, always;
- Log in. Please DO NOT donate anonymously. It makes it difficult to match a payment to your daughter.
- Always type something into the ‘Message’ text box. i.e. ‘February subs for Lucy’ or, ‘Foxlease Camp 2019 for Lucy’
- Always claim ‘Gift Aid’ - The unit has full charitable status.
Localgiving ‘Grow Your Tenner Campaign’ (Match funding)
Throughout the year Localgiving run campaigns where, payments to our Localgiving page during the campaign period, get boosted from a match fund pot. This is very important for us. These extra funds allow us to subsidise activities, events and camps for the girls, where we would otherwise have to ask parents to cover the full costs.
Time limited! - A match fund campaign usually has a pot of money to share amongst local groups and when this pots runs out, that it is for this occasion. This is why we encourage you to make your payment quite quickly after the funds start time. So, thank you if you do help in this way.
Please follow instructions given by Jacqui (Unit Administrator), when these campaigns are starting. Thank you.
