Other ways to help

Payroll Giving

This is one of the easiest and most cost-effective way to give to The Waterways Trust.

The great benefit of Payroll Giving is that donations are taken from your salary before tax is deducted, which means that you get tax relief included in your donation at your top rate of tax. In simple terms, your donations cost you less. For every £1 you donate through Payroll Giving, it will only cost you 80p (or 60p if you are a higher rate tax payer).

What you should do: Simply ask your Payroll Department if they already operate a Payroll Giving or Give As You Earn scheme and, if so, how you sign up.  If not, then ask if they could set one up by contacting Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) who will be more than happy to help.

Donate in Memory

Making a donation in memory of a loved one is a positive way of commemorating a life while helping us to enrich thousands more.

A donation to The Waterways Trust will help us continue our work to make our canals and rivers special places. Contact us on-line or call 0151 373 4391 to find out how your gift can live on.

Fundraise for Us

Organise a fundraising event to help our work:

  • Yourself: hold a coffee morning
  • In a group: organise a sponsored walk along your local towpath
  • At work: organise a 'cake bake' and sell the results to your colleagues
  • In celebration: request donations instead of presents for a birthday, anniversary or Christmas
  • In tribute: create a lasting memory of a loved one
