We are almost wholly dependent on charitable donations to keep the Ark open. If you are able to help, and would like to do so, you would be helping to maintain a service committed to helping the homeless and the vulnerable - those less fortunate than ourselves, who are least able to help themselves.

There are a number of ways to make a donation to the Ark. A regular monthly (or annual) donation would be absolutely wonderful. If you feel able to help us in this way, please print out and complete a Banker's Order Form and send it in to the Charity's Treasurer. It has to be in "hard copy" because your Bank will need your original signature before paying up. For a Banker's Order Form, click here.

Please be as generous as you can, but there are two particular schemes you may be interested in.

The Friends of The Shrewsbury Ark 100 Club

Membership is limited to 100 people aged 16 or over. Each member is allocated a number between 1 and 100. Membership costs £2.00 per month. A quarter of your membership fee will become part of the 100 Club prize fund while the remaining three quarters goes to our funds to help with the running costs of the Shrewsbury Ark, the first ever dedicated day centre for the homeless and vulnerable in Shrewsbury.

Twelve draws will take place in one year. The draw dates will be the 3rd day of each month. Winners of the cash prizes will be notified in writing.

Gift Aid

If you expect to pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year, it would be very helpful if you can print out, complete and send in a Gift Aid Declaration Form. This allows the Charity to reclaim the tax you have paid on your donation, at no further cost to yourself, which means that your donation is worth 25% more to us than the sum you actually give. What is more, if you pay tax at the higher rate, you can report the donation on your next Tax Return and reclaim the difference between the standard and higher rates of tax payable on your original donation, thus reducing the actual cost to you. Everyone wins (except the Taxman!).

Zeno's Dog

For a different way to donate if you're interested in poetry then why not think about purchasing 'Zeno's Dog' a selection of poems by local artist and writer Simon Peter Iredale at a price of just £4.00 + £1.00 p&p. For more details Click Here!
