Making a donation to OSW is an important way in which you can help us in our work supporting homeless individuals and families into employment and housing. Your donations also enable us to continue our efforts to influence policies to most effectively enable people who are furthest away from the labour market to be socially and economically included.

There are several ways in which you can donate to OSW, and these are outlined below. We very much appreciate your generosity.

Online Donation

You can make a one-off online donation by credit or debit card using our secure payment facility. You can also increase the value of your donation by making a Gift Aid declaration, which enables us to reclaim tax on your behalf.

Regular Donations by Payroll Giving

Payroll giving is an easy way to set up regular donations to OSW straight from your pay. Payroll giving donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give will only cost you 80p, or 60p for higher rate taxpayers.

If your company already operates a payroll giving scheme you simply need to choose how much you want to give, tell your payroll department, and they will make the necessary arrangements.

If your company does not already operate a payroll giving scheme it is easy to set one up. We would be happy to get in touch with your payroll department to let them know how to set up payroll giving.

For further information about how to make payroll giving donations, please contact Neil Westcott at neilwestcott@osw.org.uk or 020 7089 2722.

Donations by Cheque

You can make a one-off donation by sending us a cheque. If you make a Gift Aid declaration when you do this it enables us to reclaim the tax on the donation on your behalf.

To make a Gift Aid declaration on a cheque donation please download and complete the OSW one-off donation form (58 Kb), and send it to us together with your cheque.

Please make cheques payable to Off the Streets and into Work, and send them to us at:

Regular Donations by Standing Order

You can make a regular donation by setting up a standing order from your bank account. With standing orders you are always in control of the payment and can alter or stop the arrangement at any time. As with other methods mentioned above, you can also make a Gift Aid declaration, so that we can reclaim the tax on the donation on your behalf.

To set up a regular standing order payment please download and complete the OSW standing order donation form (61 Kb), and send it to us at the address given above.
