How you can help families build a secure future

Payroll Giving

Does your company offer a payroll giving scheme? Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-effective way to give. It enables you to give to Africa Now straight from your salary before tax is deducted, giving immediate tax relief on those donations. If you donate £10 each month it would cost you only £8, therefore costing you LESS to give MORE. Read more.

Corporate giving

Perhaps your company would like to nominate Africa Now as their charity of the year, or perhaps match fund your own fundraising efforts.

A True Legacy

This is another way of providing opportunities, not charity. Please consider leaving a legacy to Africa Now and give future generations of enterprising Africans the extra helping hand they need to lift themselves out of poverty.

Join us for an event  

Join one of our exciting UK events, such as the the British 10K London Run and many others.

Organise your own event
