    Donation details

    The sum I am transferring to HELP's account is or is equivalent to*:

    £ (Sterling) []

    For UK tax payers

    Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, we get an extra 25 pence from the Inland Revenue, helping your donation go significantly further. So £10 can be turned into £12.50 through Gift Aid.

    I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I want to Gift Aid my donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years: Yes

    Payment methods

    Your choice of payment method will depend on whether you are sending money from inside or outside the UK, and whether you want to pay monthly or annually. To see a matrix that can help you decide how to pay .

    PayPal

    Credit card

    Bank Transfer

    Cheques/Checks

    Advantages
    • A PayPal account is easy to open if you haven’t already got one (but you need to do this directly with PayPal, and upload money into that account, before you attempt to make your donation via this website).
    • You can pay by credit card via the PayPal website (in which case you don’t need to set up a PayPal account.)
    • There are no charges for donations using a UK bank account
    • Many people still like using cheques!
    • There is no charge for people using UK bank accounts.
    Disadvantages
    • PayPal always deducts a fee from your payment so we don’t get the full amount. If you want HELP to receive the full amount you intend to donate then you will need to add the value of the PayPal charge to the amount that you send.
    • As for PayPal payments
    • There is a charge for international payments at both ends of the transaction. If you want HELP to receive the full amount you intend to donate, then you will need to instruct your bank that you will bear all charges.
    • We are charged a fee for processing a cheque drawn on a non-UK account.
    • They are cumbersome for us to process.
    Conclusion

    PayPal is a particularly good option if you live outside the UK.

    This is another good option if you live outside the UK.

    Bank transfers are particularly good for those with UK bank accounts.

    If you like using cheques, feel free to use them!

    HELP is rare for an organisation offering volunteer teaching in that it puts the needs of the local people before the desires of the western person wanting ‘the experience’.
