With your help, over the past three years we have raised over £5,000 for u3a-recognised charities such as Alzheimer's Research UK,  AgeUK, Parkinson's UK and Cruse UK (Bereavement Support).

This year our chosen charity is Macmillan Cancer Support.

Donating direct to Macmillan Cancer Support

Please make your donations using the JustGiving website.

Gift Aid: Please be aware that only personal donations should be Gift Aided - and of course to agree to Gift Aid you must pay sufficient tax. Please don't agree to Gift Aid unless the donation is coming from a personal account and from you personally.

'Tips': When you make your donation JustGiving will suggest that you add a tip - and the slider doesn't got down to zero! However, all is not lost. If you click the 'Enter custom amount' link (outlined in red below) you can set it to zero - which means that your whole donation goes to the charity (which is presumably what you want).

Table Money for Group Leaders (ECatsBridge Admin Fee):

EcatsBridge have changed their methodology of charging for the administration of the Festival.

Each u3a Group will be charged 60p per playing member after the results have been collated. Group Leaders please note that you may wish to 'hold back' this amount of money from your charity collection in order to pay ECatsBridge.
