Fundraising

Peterborough Streets is an independent registered charity and received no statutory funding. The money we need to continue providing our services is either generated through fulfilling service contracts for other agencies or through the generosity of sponsors and well-wishers.

Ways you can help Peterborough Streets

1. Nominate Peterborough Streets as your chosen charity
If you are able to influence the business you either own or work for, consider nominating Peterborough Streets as your chosen charity. You would be a prime mover in creating and building upon a relationship that not only benefits the people we care for but also benefits you - ultimately creating a team spirit and a partnership between business and community by working together.

2. Donate online

3. Donations to Peterborough Streets
Consider donating unwanted items – clothing, foodstuffs, furniture, white goods etc. – all these can be put to good use in helping those in need. We will collect items from you if you are unable to bring them to us.

Of course, donations of money are always welcome, either in cash or as part of a more structured programme. There are tax benefits in making charity donations – we will happily make the necessary arrangements via Gift Aid to maximise the value of your donation.

4. Donate your old mobile phones
We are currently asking the people of Peterborough to search out those old mobile phones they no longer use and donate them to us. It doesn't matter how old they are, or what condition they are in. We will be paid £3 for every mobile we collect by Foneaid and as an added bonus for every 100 mobiles we will be given £100 in Argos vouchers for use in buying equipment for the Charity.

Geoff Johnson, fundraiser, said: "We regularly get food donations from a number of generous people and companies but we still need to buy in fresh meat and veg. It may not sound a lot, but to supplement the food, we need to support the 100 or so people seeking our help daily, so we figure that 30 phones will pay for one week's food for the homeless and those most vulnerable in society who need our help"

Phones can be dropped off at the Day Centre or the Charity Shop in Park Road.

5. Other ways of giving
Other ways of donating include sponsorship, covenants, legacies and payroll giving. If you wish to discuss the details of any of these ways of donating, please call at the Day Centre on 01733 785871.

You can also donate money to us directly by selling items on E-bay and allocating the money direct to the Charity's bank account.
