Our Charity

About Us

Our new charity website has launched!! Visit  here to learn more about all we have going on at Croydon Health Charity.

tCroydon Health Services Charitable Fund (The Fund) was set up some years ago under the former name of Mayday Healthcare Charitable Funds to receive and administer donations and legacies generously given by patients, local residents and local groups.

Our mission

We raise money to enable Croydon Health Services to provide world-class care for its patients and their families and to improve the care and facilities we offer by:

• Contributing to the refurbishment of different areas in the hospital
• Funding the most up-to-date equipment
• Supporting research
• Providing the best possible services for our patients and families

 

Where your money goes

Recent projects carried out by the Fund include:

1. A £1.4 million refurbishment of the Endoscopy Diagnostics Unit to provide state of the art equipment. The refurbishment work was carried out using funds raised by the Croydon Colorectal Cancer Charity.
 
2. Improvements in our Maternity Unit to provide four new consultant rooms that offer extra privacy and dignity for patients.

3. Vital equipment for the Neonatal Unit including specialist monitors and incubators

Payroll Giving (GAYE-Give As You Earn)

Payroll Giving is one of the easiest, most tax efficient ways of making a regular donation to Croydon Health Services Charity. 

Donations made through this scheme are taken from your gross pay. This means that your donation will cost you up to 40 per cent less due to it being taken from your salary before tax is deducted.

Making a difference

Payroll Giving really does make a difference to the way that the Charity can consistently support the vital work of the hospital. Please contact your payroll department for detailed information.

Gift Aid

The Gift Aid scheme allows the charity to increase the value of your gift by reclaiming the tax at no extra cost to you.

The charity will reclaim 28p of tax on every £1 you give between 6 April 2008 and 5 April 2011. This transitional relief for the charity does not affect your personal tax position.

If you pay income tax at the higher rate, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return if you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you.

We can reclaim the tax paid on your donation made to us. All you need to do is sign the gift aid declaration at the bottom of the Donation Record Slip form.

To qualify for Gift Aid you must be a UK taxpayer; pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that the charity will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. 

Leave a Gift in Your Will

Legacies are gifts left in wills. Please ensure that you seek the appropriate advice when drawing up a will.
