How You Can Help YMCA Scotland strives to support those young people in Scotland most at risk during their vulnerable years and to benefit them from the distinctive ethos of the YMCA and its concern for mind, body and spirit. We are determined to reach out to young people in need more than ever before and to do this we rely heavily on people like you to help us achieve this. There are many ways in which you can support YMCA Scotland A donation of any size can make a difference to YMCA Scotland. For example, £5 can fund a half an hour’s work for a YMCA youth worker to support a young person in need, £30 can fund an evening’s work for a YMCA Youth worker to be on the streets engaging with young people. Regular donations made by Standing Order are an easy way to show your commitment to helping Young People in Scotland. As well as funding our work, it also enables us to plan for the future with increased confidence. Donations can be made monthly, quarterly or annually. Print out the Standing Order form and post it to YMCA Scotland and we will do the rest. New Tax Arrangements for UK Taxpayers making donations to UK charities. Under new arrangements (from 6 April 2000) under British tax laws donations made by individuals who pay tax in the UK merit relief. This allows YMCA Scotland to reclaim the tax you have already paid on your donations. For every £1 you donate, YMCA Scotland can claim an extra 28p. Your donation of £30 could be worth £38.40 to us. Print out the Gift Aid Declaration form, fill in and post it to YMCA Scotland and help to make your donation go even further. Small Businesses and Companies can get involved too. By funding key areas of our work or simply encouraging employees in their fundraising endeavours, this kind of support is invaluable. By working in partnership, YMCA Scotland believes that Corporate fundraising benefits both customer and employee relations helping to build upon community relationships already established. By choosing YMCA Scotland as Charity of the Year , or by making a simple donation or funding/sponsoring a specific project, companies can help to make a real difference to Young People living in Scotland. Individual employees can also donate through Payroll Giving (or Give as You Earn) or organise an event at work that will involve all employees. Small Businesses and companies can help to make a real difference. For further information contact the Fundraising Team on 0131 228 1464 or email YMCA Scotland
Leaving a legacy to the YMCA is an ideal way of passing on the maximum benefits of your estate as it will be entirely free of inheritance tax. Whether you have already made a will or you are planning to make one in the near future, the best way to leave us a gift is a residuary bequest once the needs of your friends and family have been met. As a charity, we are reliant on voluntary contributions to continue our work. By including us in your will, you can have the satisfaction that thousands of young people in need will benefit from your precious gift through our vital work.
