Donate

As we are an entirely volunteer-run organisation, using the JustGiving platform usefully saves us time. JustGiving take 5% of the Gift Aid income in processing charges. They also ask people to give extra to cover their platform costs, but this is entirely optional: you can select ‘Other’ and ‘£0’ to avoid paying 15% extra to JustGiving.

If you would prefer to pay by direct bank transfer, standing order or cheque then please let us know by completing this online form https://www.fsc.org.uk/r/ga-form which can include a gift aid declaration if you are a UK taxpayer and want your donation to go further. The form also gives our bank details as well as the address to send cheques.

How your donation will be used

Our policy is that no child will be refused a place due to financial circumstances. FSC offers assistance with camp fees to families who cannot afford to pay the full amount, in addition to providing any camp equipment they need, such as tents, sleeping bags and waterproofs. In 2026 we supported 191 children whose parents could not afford the full fees.

Can you help us ensure that no camper is turned away because of lack of funds?

Any donation great or small is appreciated. If you are able to set up a regular gift this will allow us to plan more effectively and ensure we can continue our work for years to come.

£625 (the price of a summer camp) will send a child on camp who might not otherwise afford to go.
£100 will buy a tent that we could send on camp for a child who doesn’t have one.
£60 will buy a sleeping bag.

If we exceed our fundraising target for our Camper and Kit Support Funds, then the money will be spent where the need is greatest, for example, repairing and replenishing our equipment for next year’s camps. FSC is committed to open and honest fundraising. We aim to follow best practice in all areas of fundraising and to respect the needs and wishes of donors wherever possible. For more details of how we do this, please refer to our Fundraising Policy.

Leave a gift in your will

We all understand the power of spending time in nature and building communities that grow together and share our skills. From songs around the campfire, to learning new skills. From climbing mountains, to making lifelong friends. These moments are priceless, and a legacy gift can help these go on for many generations to come.

Please click here for our legacy pack, which includes all you need to leave a legacy by a codicil to your existing Will or to add a legacy to your new Will. If you would like to discuss your donation or legacy then please contact us at legacy.officer@fsc.org.uk
