Donations

The Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust will always welcome donations whether monetary, materials or equipment to aid restoration or some of your time.

Monetary Donations

There are a number of ways that donors can donate, perhaps the simplest is via the Charity Aid Foundation’s CAF Donate service, which can administer Gift Aid; donations via CAF Donate can be made anonymously to the Trust.

PayPal

Payments through Paypal are acceptable, however we can only claim Gift Aid if we have or you separately provide a Gift Aid declaration.

By Text

The Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust has signed up to the Donr platform to enable mobile phone users to make a one-off donation. This can be done by simply texting one of our unique keywords to 70085 followed by the amount of their donation which can be any amount between £1 and £20 (whole pounds only).

Our unique keywords are:

  • CANAL
  • BORROWASH
  • DRAYCOTT

For example to make a one-off £5 donation to the Trust’s general fund please text:

CANAL 5 to 70085

This text will cost you £5, plus a standard network rate message. Remember any amount can be donated between £1 and £20 in whole pounds.

To donate specifically to the Trust’s ongoing projects at Borrowash or Draycott please then text either BORROWASH or DRAYCOTT followed by the amount of your donation (between £1 and £20) to 70085.
