Donate
The Balsam Centre is an independent charity set up by local people, for local people.
​
Whilst the work of the Centre is long term, funding for its projects and services is all too frequently short term. We make some of our income by hiring out some of the rooms within the Centre, and many people who use its services make small donations to help support our projects. Occasionally people make large donations too! We value all donations, large and small.

You can donate directly to The Balsam Centre through our page on Wonderful.org, and Wonderful will collect the tax for us!

A Friend commits to giving a regular donation of any amount, at any interval, by standing order. A Patron commits to a fixed donation per year for 3 years.

Regular giving of this kind really helps us as it provides a predictable income, enabling us to maintain services.

“Last year me and my family found ourselves in a very difficult situation. We didn’t know which way to turn. The Balsam Centre was like a shining light in the dark. There is a such a broad range of friendly people on hand, specialising in many different skills, from midwives to Citizens Advice. Our Balsam Centre is like a rare gem. I hope we never lose it.”
