Regular Gift Donation

MAKE A REGULAR DONATION WHEN YOU GIVE BY DIRECT DEBIT

Guideposts plays a vital role in providing community integration and, through our specialist services, reaching out and supporting some of the most vulnerable and isolated groups in society.

More than 250,000 people have supported the work of the Charity to date and over 5,000 people make a regular donation every year. Thanks to their invaluable support, we help thousands of vulnerable people young and old, live independently and with dignity at the heart of their local communities.

Guideposts works 365 days a year, seven days a week to support vulnerable people in the local community.

Small monthly donations give us the resources necessary to provide the day-to-day support and long-term help that people with mental health problems, Alzheimer’s disease, learning disabilities and children with a lifelong disability so desperately need.

The support that we give is priceless but there is inevitably a cost involved in developing and running our services which is why we need your regular support.

Regular donations are vital to help us continue our work in the community.

Giving by Direct Debit is an agreement between you and Guideposts Trust to have regular donations taken from your bank or building society.
