How your donations help

Donations provide a vital source of income for our organisation and are used to pay for things that our mainstream funding doesn't cover.

Most of our families in the refuge come to us with what they stand up in. During the Covid19 pandemic, social distancing, restrictions and isolation can perpetuate and escalate the severity of domestic abuse, and make it harder for victims to reach help.

Below is an example of what your donation could give them.

  • £5 could buy a teddy bear for a child confused and frightened by the move to refuge

  • £15 could pay for a set of pyjamas and underwear for a child who has fled violence

  • £30 could pay for a counselling session for a woman traumatised by abuse

  • £50 could buy a kitchen starter kit with pots pans and utensils for a family resettling from refuge

  • £100 could help us to offer virtual support to women who are unable to attend support because of the pandemic

  • £200 could pay for days out for the refuge children

  • £1000 could pay for a groupwork programme for women in recovery from the trauma of domestic abuse

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a flexible scheme which allows anyone who pays UK income tax to give regularly and on a tax free basis to the charity of their choice.

Payroll Giving is one of the most tax-effective methods of giving to charity. Donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give will only cost you 80p, or 60p if you're a higher rate tax payer.

How it works

This table shows how giving through your salary each month can really add up for the charity:

 

Talk to your payroll department to see if you can contribute to charity via GAYE and HMRC will meet part of your donation. Visit www.payrollgivingcentre.org.uk or www.cafonline.org to find out more.

By remembering Oasis in your will you can help secure a future in which women and children can live in safety – free from fear.

How do I leave a gift to Oasis in my will?

Have a look at our step-by-step guide to leaving a legacy to Oasis.

If you would like to add a gift to Oasis to an existing will, you can do so easily by using a codicil. A codicil is a supplement that allows additions or changes to be made to a will.
