Fundraising in celebration

Manks

Getting married? Birthday coming up soon? A Holy Communion? A Baptism? A Confirmation? Wedding Anniversary? Retiring?  Panicking about what to ask for? Well panic no more…..Laughter Africa is here to help! Why not put a donation to Laughter Africa on your gift list or even do away with the list altogether and ask guests to make a donation to us in lieu of presents. That’s what David and Kate did for their wedding day in October 2015! And what the Makin family did for Baby James’ Baptism in April 2016. And what Pat Boyle did to celebrate a big birthday in July 2016! And what Tony and Pauline Pearson did in August 2016 to celebrate a special anniversary!

Where a car still has some miles left in it, they’ll arrange for it to be sold to the highest bidder. They can even collect your car for free. All you need to do is phone 0844 669 6889, email info@CarTakeBack.com or visit www.charitycar.co.uk for more information. Don’t forget to quote Laughter Africa as your preferred charity.

ShareGift_logo

Donating shares to Laughter Africa can raise much needed cash for our work and it will have lots of tax advantages for you too.

It’s very simple to transfer your shares to Laughter Africa. If the shares you are donating are worth between £20 – £1000 all you need to do is complete a form and ShareGift (an organisation with whom we work) can do all the hard work for you!

If the shares you are donating are worth over £1000 then please contact us directly at info@laughterafrica.org.uk to arrange the transfer of shares.

It is Laughter Africa’s policy that when we receive gifts of shares we sell them as soon as is practicable. If we hold on to them their value might change and we believe that we should not speculate with gifts entrusted to us. We believe that we should use your gifts as soon as possible to benefit the street children.

Please note that Laughter Africa is unable to give you any financial advice. We would urge you to talk to your financial advisor about the tax implications of donating shares. For further information, please visit the HMRC website.

If you wish to sell shares on behalf of Laughter Africa or have any questions regarding stock transfers please contact us at info@laughterafrica.org.uk.
