How will my money be used?

Thanks to our incredible supporters, we’re helping Evelina London continue to do some seriously amazing things, like:

• Make Evelina London feel more like home, with wards that provide a sanctuary for families and a play space for children.
• Invest in innovative equipment and technology that makes treatment more precise and brings comfort to children and their families – like special illuminating equipment that makes injections easier.
• Support pioneering research which allows the expert Evelina London team to discover new ways to deliver care – like the ground-breaking 3D MRI scanner that helps diagnose heart problems in babies while they’re still in the womb.
• Look after the everyday heroes in the Evelina London team, making sure staff get the care and support they need – from comfortable wellbeing zones where they can rest and recuperate, to comprehensive psychological and spiritual support.

What is Gift Aid and why should I sign up for it?

Gift Aid enables the Charity to reclaim the tax on your donation (provided you are a UK taxpayer) and receive a further 25p from every £1 donated, at no extra cost to you.  A gift of £10.00 per month becomes £12.50 per month with Gift Aid.  All we need from you is a simple declaration saying that you want to use Gift Aid – you may have selected this on the tablet in the Direct Debit section.

How secure is my donation and my personal details?

Our fundraisers are not allowed to collect cash or cheques.  The information contained on the tablet can only be used by Evelina London Children’s Charity to collect your agreed contribution from your account and nothing else.  We comply with the Data Protection Act and will not pass your details on to any third party.  You are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
