We are extremely grateful for your ongoing generosity. Our post is taking longer to reach us than normal so if you post your donation, it will take us a bit longer than normal to send you a thank you letter. We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

To send us a cheque or set up a direct debit by post, simply download the appropriate donation form and send it to the address provided at the bottom of the form.


If you haven't signed a Gift Aid declaration yet, you can do this easily using our online form. Alternatively, you can download a Gift Aid declaration [PDF] sign it and post it with your donation. If you are eligible, Macmillan can claim an extra 25p back from every £1 you donate, from the government at no extra charge to you. Find out more about Gift Aid
