Funeral Collections
If you’d like to donate a funeral collection to Walking With The Wounded, the simplest way is to set up a donations page on Virgin Money Giving, where friends and family can make a donation and leave a message if they choose. Using Virgin Money Giving is very easy and requires no administration – it also means Walking With The Wounded has the opportunity to collect Gift Aid on eligible donations, increasing the contribution from your funeral collection. We can also provide collection envelopes - please call our Fundraising Team on 01263 863 900.
Collection Envelope Guidelines
If you wish to use collection envelopes at the funeral we can provide these for you. The collection envelopes are designed to allow individuals to Gift Aid their donation if they are eligible to do so, which allows Walking With The Wounded to claim 25p from HM Revenue & Customs for every £1 donated at no extra cost to the donor. Please contact us at Viveca.johnstone@wwtw.org.uk to tell us how many you need and we can arrange for these to be sent out to you.
Funeral directors
Please forward the collection envelopes and any individual cheques direct to Walking With The Wounded at Stody Hall Bran, Stody, Melton Constable, Norfolk NR24 2ED. Any cash can either be paid directly into our bank account, details below, or a cheque made payable to ‘Walking With The Wounded can be written to cover the full amount donated in cash.
Churches
Please follow the same procedure as Funeral Directors. We prefer donations to Walking With The Wounded to be paid directly to us, however we are aware that some churches have a process where the cash needs to be passed through their accounts before being paid to the charity. If this is the case, and collection envelopes are used, please can we ask you to check the amount you take out of each envelope with the amount written on the envelope before sending the envelopes to us at the address below. The information on the envelopes is needed to allow us to claim Gift Aid from HMRC on behalf of the donors.
