abcd exists without any external core funding. Most of our revenue comes from our members’ subscriptions, some project funding from Trusts and Foundations, and the surpluses made on our courses and events. Our recovery from the pandemic is long and hard, and in order to continue to grow and to fulfil our ambitions, we need your help. Any donation, however large or small, makes a difference.
- You can make a donation of any size online through the online giving site, Give as you Live. Click the button above to make a one-off donation or set up a regular donation.
- You can make a credit or debit card payment. Just email Rachel Greaves or phone 01935 389482 and we can take your payment over the phone.
