Ways to donate

• This is called a “restricted donation” since the charity is restricted in what we can do with the money. 

• We can accept restricted donations, that we can only use to buy Goit Stock Wood, on the following basis:

  • You need to let us know that you want your donation to be a restricted donation by making that clear at the time you make the donation. That means using this donation form if you are donating as an individual or this form if you are donating on behalf of a business (or other organisation) - or stating this clearly in a covering letter if you send us a cheque. We'll keep a record of your name, contact details and donation amount.

  • If you make a restricted donation and we can't buy Goit Stock Wood, we'll contact you to offer you a refund of your donation. If you would like a refund, you'll need to give us your bank details so we can pay the money back to you.

  • We can only accept restricted donations of £60 or more. This is because we are a run by a small team of volunteers and we won't have the capacity to contact lots of donors of smaller amounts in order to offer refunds.

  • If you make a donation by credit/debit card, we will incur processing fees which we can't get back. So if we can't buy the wood and you ask for a refund of a donation made by card we'll deduct 2.5% from the amount we refund to you to cover this cost. If you want to avoid this happening, please make your payment by bank transfer instead.

• If you would like to donate under £60, please consider making an unrestricted donation instead.

• If you would like to sponsor us please see our business sponsorship packages. 

• If you would like to make a straightforward donation on behalf of a business, please click here. We will issue you an invoice to be paid by bank transfer.

• Please make cheques payable to Friends of Goit Stock Wood and post to: Friends of Goit Stock Wood, 22 Wilsden Road, Harden, Bingley BD16 1JN.

• If you are donating £60 or more and you wish your donation to only be used to fund the purchase of Goit Stock Wood and refunded if that is not possible (a “restricted donation”), please let us know in a covering letter and include your name, address and contact phone number. Otherwise we will use the donation to fund any of our charitable activities. Please note that we cannot accept restricted donations under £60 (see above).

• If you include an email address, we'll email you to acknowledge receipt of your cheque, but we won't write back by post. We do really appreciate all donations, but we want to minimise our administrative and postage costs.

• We appreciate regular donations - although please note that we have a deadline of the end of September to raise the funds for our bid to purchase Goit Stock Wood, so any donations you can make before 12 September are appreciated.

• Please complete this form. We will send you an invoice which includes our bank details and a reference number. Please use these to set up a Standing Order in your banking app, online banking or by contacting your bank. That way you are completely in control and if you ever want to stop or amend the donation, you can do so through your bank.

Please email support@goitstock.org.uk with details of the money you have collected and we'll work out the best way for you to get it to us.

Please email support@goitstock.org.uk with details of your plans. We can provide you with posters, leaflets etc if you need them to support your activity, and we'd like to make sure that all fundraising done in our name is done in line with charity rules. We will agree with you how you will collect the money and get it to us. If applicable, we can set up an online donation link/sponsorship form specifically for your event so we can keep track of how much money you raise.
