A small gift, a quiet thank-you note, and a kettle that keeps boiling.
Our donate page is for old friends of Aubourn, former parishioners, and anyone who would like to keep a small village endowment going for another generation.
Choose an amount and a cadence.
Most of our donors give once a year, by standing order, in January. A handful give monthly. We are grateful for either.
Into one of four small purses, never further.
By default we pay donations into the Winter Fund, our seasonal emergency pot for households facing the worst of the winter fuel costs. If you would like your gift directed to a specific programme — Kitchen-Table Grants, the Summers Bursaries, Quiet Hour or the Parish Wellbeing Fund — please mention it in the email you reply to.
We do not pay administration costs out of donations. All trustees serve unpaid; we claim no expenses. Investment management, audit and Charity Commission filing are paid out of investment income and the small annual surplus.
Receipts are sent by email within seven days. Gift Aid claims are made annually in the autumn. We will write to you twice a year with our quarterly dispatch (a single sheet, posted from Aubourn) so you can see what the money has done.
Other ways to give: standing order, bequest, or a cheque.
Cheques payable to 'Estate Charity of Sir Christopher Nevile' may be sent to The Old Vicarage, Church Lane, Aubourn, Lincoln LN5 9DT.
