Get Involved

You can support us in one of three ways:

1. Prayer

2. Volunteering

Each year we take volunteers who come to work with us either to gain experience or just to offer their skills and time. The Light Project could not function without these people so do please consider giving some of your time.

3. Financial Support

Donations

Please consider providing us with a financial gift to help us or you can join our 500 Partnership by completing a standing order form for a regular monthly amount. Either way you can use this form to make your donation. Simply print it, complete it and send it to the address shown at the bottom of the form.

If you are a United Kingdom tax payer then please also complete the gift aid section so that we can claim an extra 25p from the government for every £1 you donate. You can use the calculator below to see how much we will benefit from the your Gift Aid declaration.

"We support the Light Project on a monthly basis, as part of the 500 partnership, because we believe that it is the best investment we could choose to make. By regularly supporting the Project, we help them fund their many activities in and around Chester, all of which are intended to demonstrate God's love and to draw people into a relationship with Jesus."
- Dave and Maggie Wilson

Payroll Giving

If your employer is part of the Payroll Giving scheme, you can make a regular tax-free donation to The Light Project direct from your pay or pension.

Through payroll giving a £10 donation will only cost you £8. The taxman will add the extra £2.00 or even more if you are a higher rate taxpayer!

Self Assessment Tax Return

Did you know that anyone who completes a Self Assessment tax return can nominate the charity of their choice to receive all or part of any repayment?

This scheme is open to UK tax payers only and will first apply for tax returns for the year to 5 April 2004.

All you need to do to donate some or all of your tax repayment to the Light Project is include our unique identifier number on the tax return form in box 19A.3. Our unique id number is DAE62DG.

With your agreement the Inland Revenue will treat this refund as a Gift Aid donation, meaning that the Light Project will get an extra 28p for every £1 donated. For us to receive this extra money at no cost to you all you have to do is tick box 19A.4 on the tax return form.

What are the advantages?
  • The donation will be credited directly into our bank account.
  • The tax return incorporates a Gift Aid declaration
  • Gift Aid will be paid directly to us without us having to make a claim
  • Uniquely, it allows us to receive Gift Aid on anonymous donations
