How can I support St Eds?

We are transforming lives in Norwich by providing support, training and life opportunities to disadvantaged young people. We have an inspiring vision, but we need your support more than ever. Check out the list below to find out how you can support us in our endeavours.

DONATE – Friends of St Eds

You can become a ‘Friend of St Eds’, by contributing a monthly donation to help us purchase vital resources for our students, develop our curriculum and provide opportunities for expansion.

Donate Here

Alternatively, you can make a cheque payable to ST EDMUNDS SOCIETY and post it to 114-118 Oak Street, Norwich, NR3 3BP.

The Government allows us to claim back tax on donations by Gift Aid. This means for every £1 donated, we get £1.25 when you add Gift Aid, at no extra cost to you. If you are a UK taxpayer, and you are donating your own money (not from a business), please ask us about Gift Aid.

DONATE ITEMS

Alternatively, you can help us by donating resources, such as equipment, tools, materials, or PPE for our courses (Construction, Mechanics, Catering, Hair and Beauty, Health and Social Care). Please contact us to arrange.
