You can donate shares as well as cash, which may have tax advantages for you. Please contact us on the best way to make the transfer email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363.
Legacies
Leaving a legacy to us in your will would help our work continue. If you have already made your will, you can easily add a codicil, just ask your solicitor or legal adviser. For more information on legacies, email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363
In memoriam
When a loved one dies, many people prefer to see donations go to a worthwhile cause rather than receive flowers at the funeral. For more information on in memoriam donations, email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363
By text
You can donate to the Child Accident Prevention Trust by text, which is convenient for you and great for us. Simply text CAPT followed by the amount you wish to donate and the code CSW to 81404.
For example, to donate £10, text CAPT 10 CSW to 81404; or to donate £25, text CAPT 25 CSW to 81404. (Please remember to insert a space after CAPT and after the amount.)
If you do not have a LUUP account, LUUP's call centre will call you back to register you for this free service. LUUP adds up to £5 to each first time donation from a new LUUP user. Terms and conditions apply. See www.luup.com for more information.
Employee fundraising events
Have fun with colleagues and support our work – dress-down days, raffles, head/leg/chest shaves, slims and many more – anything that is safe and legal! Many companies support staff efforts to raise money for charity by matching the amount raised. For advice, email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363.

If your employer operates a staff payroll giving scheme, use it to donate to us. If your employer doesn’t yet operate a staff payroll giving scheme and is interested in starting one, ask them to email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363.
Charity partners and Charity of the Year
Many employers involve their staff in choosing their Charity of the Year or which charities they will donate to. To discuss how your employer might support our work, email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363.
Fundraising events
You could arrange a fundraising event on our behalf, at home or work. if you require advice, help and support please email or telephone Bill Giles on 020 7608 7363.
