Are you running a fundraising event for the Leeds Group?


It's nice and easy to do, you can make a donation through our partner site JustGiving or you can create your own JustGiving donations page for your sponsored event.

 

When you donate via Justgiving they reclaim the income tax you have paid on that sum on our behalf (where you have declared yourself to be a UK tax payer) and add that to your donation before passing the total to Crohn's and Colitis UK.Crohn's and Colitis UK pays Justgiving a small administration fee for this service which includes the charge made by the credit card company.

 

Please note: if you wish donations via Justgiving to be credited to the Leeds and District Group directly, please contact us using the details at the top of this page.

 

If you want to be more specific on where your donation goes, you can use this donation form which you can send with your cheque to our headquarters.
