The following banks are currently supported by ‘Pay By Bank’: Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Coutts, Danske Bank, First Direct, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds, Monzo, Nationwide, Natwest, Revolut, Santader, TSB, Ulster Bank.

For donations larger than £10,000, Big Give recommend you pay via ‘Donation Funds, please read the Big Give’s guide here on how Donation Funds work. We would recommend you set this up no later than Tuesday 25th November to allow time for this to process.

Each donation made on the Big Give platform is subject to a small processing fee you can find out more here about how this will be charged base on your donation method.

Your donations are doubled thanks to match funding from our local community pledgers and champion pledger.

We have a match-funding pot of £28,000 and donations will be doubled until that is used up!

You can still donate after the match-fund pot has been used up and help us raise above our £56,000 target.
