| Support Weight Concern's Work |
We rely on your support to continue our work in helping to understand and treat obesity.
If you work for or are a representative of a company that could help, please visit the companies page.
How individuals can help:
'Friends'
You can become a 'Friend' of Weight Concern, and help us with our work by donating £15 a year.
You can receive discounts on Weight Concern products and we will send you our newsletter
with details of developments, progress and other information.
Donations
If you would rather support us without receiving the newsletter then just click here
to make a donation using a credit card. |
Donations can also be made by sending a cheque in the post (Click here for contact details)
or by setting up a standing order with your bank, so that a monthly or yearly donation is made without
you having to do anything else.
Note: if you make a donation and are a tax payer we can reclaim the tax, so that for every £10 you
give, the Inland Revenue gives us £2.80.
Events
Do something - however small - to raise funds for the charity. Hold a charity coffee morning and
invite your friends. Even if you can only raise £10 and have a good time then we will be
happy - however small, your donation will help.
Organise a sponsored walk, or swim, or something equally fun. You do not need to run a marathon, a
five mile walk through the woods that takes all afternoon can still raise money if you ask people
you know to sponsor you. (Mind, if you do want to run a marathon, that is fine with us!)
If you want to run an event of this or any other type to raise money for Weight Concern, let us know
and we will send you leaflets about the charity and a letter confirming that you are offering to
raise money for us.
Legacies
It may sound depressing, but we all die sooner or later, and the sooner you prepare a will, the
better - then you can live your life to the full without any further concerns about what happens
to your estate when you die.
Your solicitor can give advice on will-making, and there are a number of self-help books on the
subject. You may be able to avoid tax by leaving something to a charity, and will know that good
work will be done in your memory.
If you want to leave a legacy to Weight Concern, tell your solicitor our registered charity
number is 1059686.
