At this time of national emergency, our services are needed more than ever. Young people are having to isolate themselves in their homes which in turn is putting strain on their mental health. We urgently need funding and we are asking our supporters (if they can afford) to commit to giving Venture Scotland £10 every month to help us to continue our life changing, often lifesaving, work.
By setting up a regular gift to Venture Scotland, you can help us plan ahead and assure the future of our programme for young people from Greater Glasgow & Clyde and Edinburgh & the Lothians.
Regular income is like gold dust to any charity and your gift will help us to become more sustainable going forward and enable us to help more young people. It’s really easy. You choose which payment method is best for you by selecting one of the following ways:
- Set up a month donation securely through JustGiving by clicking here
- Set up your own standing order by emailing Anda who will give you our bank details
Don’t forget Gift Aid – If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your gift by 25% at no extra cost to you.
Here are some ideas of how your donation could help us…
