Donations

In common with all charities, we rely heavily on financial donations from all who believe in our work. If you feel that you can support us, either by a one off donation or regular payments this can be done in the following ways.

Gifts by non-tax payers can be made by cheques made
payable to: "The Bridge Trust" and sent to our office in Tonbridge. Or if you wish, you can send donations directly to our bank or you can make regular donations by Standing Order. Click here to download a Donations Form giving all the details you need.

Gifts by tax payers can be significantly increased - currently 28p in the £ by the use of Gift Aid. Click here to view details of the scheme and print a Gift Aid Declaration form. This form and your gift should be sent to our office in Tonbridge - our address is on our Contact Us page.


Buy at The Bridge Trust Web Shop

If you enjoy shopping then do visit our web shop as we receive commission on all items purchased in this way. The purchaser’s contract is with the retailer and accessing them through our web shop in no way affects the price paid or the rights of the consumer. The commission is donated directly by the retailers from their own marketing budgets and can range from 5% upwards with extra sums being given on some of their special offers. There are over ninety major retailers involved, including Amazon, Play.com, Index, Sky, Tesco, HMV, RAC, Marks and Spencer, plus many more.

Our webshop can be visited at www.buy.at/TheBridgeTrust


Volunteering

Would you like to do something practical? Have a few spare hours a week, particularly on a Saturday? Then why not volunteer for one of our Retail Outlets and put your skills to good use. We are always looking for people who can be charity shop or warehouse assistants or we can use an extra van driver for our Furniture Warehouse. Contact our Shops or Warehouse direct.


Company Fundraising

Involving your staff in fund raising events is not only good fun its an excellent opportunity to encourage team building skills, allow employees to manage a project and develop skills which may not usually fall into their field, both of which increase moral and individual esteem.

Running your own event or taking part in a Bridge Trust one such as the Sleepout can also enhance your image with your staff, the local community and your clients. We have plenty of ideas such as sponsoring a manager or team to work in one of our shops for a day, so please contact the office.


Donation Days

Our charity outlets are always looking for good quality items to sell in our shops. This is a really simple way of helping the Bridge Trust. All you need to do is arrange an area at your office or work place for people to bring in donations and we will arrange collection. We will assist with any promotion, be it providing a speaker or literature about the trust and donation day and any other help or information you may need.

If you are interested in any of the above or have ideas about company giving please email us: info@thebridgetrust.org.uk, or call
01732 368363.

Pray For Us

The Bridge Trust was founded by Christians who wanted to demonstrate their love, care and compassion for those in need. Today we still work to those principles and are always in need of spritual support to underpin everything we do. Please pray for us, either within the privacy of your own prayers or openly with others. We provide our services to people of any faith or none, but the Trustees, staff and residents all need to experience the wisdom and power that only comes through the grace of God.

We produce a Prayer Letter, four times a year. If you wish to be put onto our mailing list to receive this, please contact us at the office.
