Ways to Give

Making donations to the life and work of the Northumbria Community

As a registered charity, The Northumbria Community Trust does not ask for a set fee to cover the cost of your stay at Nether Springs, online retreats or Northumbria Community events. Instead, we invite donations to support the life and work of the wider Community as a whole.

Many retreatants welcome a suggestion as to what might be an appropriate donation. This is always a difficult question to answer. However, for your guidance, the suggested donation is indicated against each retreat in the programme. We ask that you make as generous a donation as is possible without risking hardship. Through the work of the Community, the generosity of those who can afford more will benefit those who have less. As the weekly and monthly costs of running the Community are substantial, we would greatly value your integrity and generosity in this regard.

Please refer to the *suggested donation in relation to the retreat you have participated on.. If you are a UK tax payer, please do consider ‘gift-aiding’ your donation.

Ways to Give

However you give, please do remember to indicate which retreat or event your donation relates to as this would greatly help us to cross-reference any gifts received on our accounting system.

You can donate, either as a one-off, or on a monthly basis, through the links below.
