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 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.
To sponsor a piece of equipment, please call the Fundraising Department on 0161 610 0170.
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 fundraising team here at Seashell Trust on 0161 610 0168 for more information.
Gift Giving
If it is your birthday, wedding, anniversary or any gift giving event please consider asking your friends and family to make donations to Seashell Trust in lieu of presents. There are a number of ways of making a Giving Gift: Online donation, personalised website, create your own sponsorship page through VirginMoneyGiving, include our charity contact details in your invitations or order of service to allow people to contact us directly and we will let you know how much was raised, or by cheque.

Giving Gifts In Memory

Fundraise from home
Watch the pennies and the pounds will watch themselves.
This old adage is extremely relevant when it comes to a simple way of fundraising. It’s surprising how all the loose change you find lying around adds up... and if it’s lying around doing nothing it might just as well be put to good use! So why not collect your spare coins in one of our home collection boxes? All you need to do is order your Home Collection Box from the fundraising team here at the Seashell Trust on 0161 610 0170 or fundraising@seashelltrust.org.uk, empty it when it's full, and send us a cheque for the amount collected. We will write back to acknowledge your donation and send you a new box. Please make cheques payable to the Seashell Trust and send them to Fundraising Department, Seashell Trust, Stanley Road, Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, SK8 6RQ
Your change can change lives!
