Donate
We are always grateful for donations to support our life changing work. No matter how big or small, your gift can make a real difference in the lives of destitute asylum seekers.
Financial support
We are in real need of financial support and we would love your help! Here are some ways you can give:
Online – click here to go to our Charity Giving page, or click on the donate button on the right of the screen.
By Standing Order – We have a regular giving scheme called Friends of Boaz, and this is a really easy and effective way to regularly support our work. To become a Friend of Boaz, please fill in the details on the form below and post it back to us- we’ll then contact your bank and set up a standing order for you!
Don’t forget to sign the gift aid declaration if you are a taxpayer- this means we get an extra 25p for every £1 you give, at no extra cost to you!
We currently receive around £24,000 a year from regular donations, and we’d love to see this aspect of our fundraising grow. Even just a couple of pounds a month can make a real difference to the lives of destitute asylum seekers.
As part of Boaz 2012- this is a new fundraising initiative for individuals and groups to contribute to the daily needs of our clients- please click here for more info.
By Cheque - please make cheques payable to ‘The Boaz Trust’ and send them to The Boaz Trust, 1st Floor, 110 Oldham Road, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6AG. Please print off this form and enclose it with your donation. If you are a taxpayer, please remember to include your address and to sign the gift aid declaration.
Invest in a Boaz house – we partner with Green Pastures Housing with several of our houses. This is a charity that invests money in housing for homeless people, and we think they’re great. If you have a large sum of money that you would like to invest, their housing schemes could be the way to go- for more information about this opportunity please do get in touch.
If you want to discuss these, or any other, ways of giving to our work, please get in touch with Lucy Smith at funding@boaztrust.org.uk, on 0161 2021056 or by post at 1st Floor, 110 Oldham Road, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6AG.
Thank you for your generosity!
