Regular Donations and Standing Orders
Regular donations help us to plan with greater confidence for the future of Seashell Trust. Here is an idea of how your regular donations can help;
- £5 a month for a year pays for regular activities for a student who lives with us 52 weeks a year.
- £10 a month over a year would pay for regular physiotherapy for a student who may have particular mobility difficulties requiring intensive support.

Sponsorship
We are constantly improving and adapting our facilities and equipment. We have a never-ending 'wish list' of projects, which are suitable for sponsorship by individuals, organisations and companies. There are a range of deserving projects both small and large, short-term and long-term; specialist equipment such as hoists and adapted bikes for wheelchair users, equipping a sensory room for our multi-sensory impaired students or for a mini-bus to enable students to access the wider community.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving means making a regular donation to Seashell Trust directly from your salary. You can donate either weekly or monthly. Every £1 you donate costs you just 78p because the donation is made before tax is deducted. You can stop or change your donation when you like, just tell your payroll department, giving them one month's notice. Contact your employer or the the fundraising team here at Seashell Trust on 0161 610 0168 for more information.
