Donations

As a small independent charity, we rely on the generosity of donors to support our work to help ensure that no Carer has to reach a crisis point before they get the support they need.

 

We have signed up to a number of platforms to make it really easy for you to make a donation, directly or indirectly, for example through your online shopping or leaving a legacy in your Will, or following a fundraising event.

  • £2 can help pay for tea and biscuits at our groups, providing a safe space to share experiences and talk to other Carers

  • £5 could help pay for community transport on day trips for Carers, providing a break from their caring role

  • £10 could pay for a massage or reflexology session, providing stress-relief and time-out for Carers to relax

  • £25 could pay for a Young Carer to go to Thorpe Park, providing them with an opportunity to just be a child & enjoy the day.

Legacy section
Leaving a legacy

By leaving a gift to Sutton Carers Centre in your Will, you are making possible the continued delivery of services that meet the needs of the unpaid Carers we support.

 

Our ongoing services support over 9,000 Carers within the borough.  As an independent charity, we rely on funding from external sources to cover the vast majority of these costs, so leaving a legacy gift is a beautiful and much appreciated gesture. 

Grandmother and Granddaughter
Your legacy will support:

​

  • free professional information and advice

  • emotional and practical support

  • training

  • wellbeing services for the whole family

  • weekly support groups and activities for both Adult and Young Carers, bringing them together, building a lasting community and giving them much needed respite

What type of gift can I leave?
There are 3 main types of gifts you can leave in your Will to Sutton Carers Centre:

​​

Pecuniary Gift
This is a fixed amount of money that you choose to donate. This type of gift can be ‘index linked’ so the value will be held in line with inflation rates.
Specific Gift
This is a particular item that you wish to gift within your Will. This could be an object, a building or land for example.
How can I leave a gift?

 

If you wish to include Sutton Carers Centre in your Will, then you will need the following details:

​

Registered name: Sutton Carers Centre Address: Benhill House, 1st Floor, 12-14 Benhill Avenue, Sutton, Surrey, SM1 4DA

​

Registered Charity Number: 1062302

​

Residuary Gift
This is a gift which is a share of your estate, remaining after any specified gifts have been made to others who are in your Will.
We are grateful for your consideration to leave a gift
in your Will to Sutton Carers Centre.
Your Gift will make a huge impact on the lives of Carers.

When drawing up or updating your existing Will, we advise that
