Supporting FACT
Why does Fellowship Afloat need support?
We have always relied upon the voluntary support of friends because:
- it enables fees to be kept to a minimum – people are never turned away because of limited means;
- it increases the scope of what we can do – so that our fee income doesn't restrict us;
- it creates participation and ownership of our centre by supporters and users;
- it creates a community of volunteers and helpers that makes a vibrant and energetic ethos.
How can people give support?
- By volunteering
and helping to sail, cook or repair things – more about this in the
Volunteer Zone.
- By praying – FACT believe that God wants us to pray about the big and small things in life. Ship to Shore is a monthly meeting that gives an opportunity to do this together. Our six-monthly newsletter Lightwaves is a good inspiration for prayers.
- By giving money – about a third of our income comes from giving. Some give regularly every month others give larger one-off sums (you can get a Gift Aid form by clicking here).
Did you know?
- The Government support giving to trusts through the Gift Aid scheme – if you are a taxpayer and sign a Gift Aid Declaration form, then FACT can claim an extra 28 pence in the pound.
- If every one of our friends who receives the twice a year Lightwaves was to give £5 per month via Gift Aid, FACT would receive over £115,000 per year to develop the Trust's work.
If you'd like to talk further about supporting Fellowship Afloat's work, contact the director, David Hillyer, by email or phone him on 01621 868113.
