If you have made a donation online, you will receive an automated thank you email.

There may be other occasions where you have donated to Soundabout, directly or indirectly, and we are not aware this has happened. We are truly grateful for every donation we receive, and we will make every effort to thank and acknowledge everyone who has donated to us. If you don't receive an acknowledgement and would like one, please contact us. 

Do you prefer people to make regular gifts rather than one-off donations?

Long-term donations enable us to plan for the future and ensure money is available where it is needed most, so we can make music change lives for as many Learning Disabled people as possible.

Regular gifts mean a consistent, predictable income so we can plan and budget better, making us more efficient. It’s also more cost-effective. By setting up a regular gift, more of the money you donate goes towards making music change lives as we are able to spend less on bank charges.

There are benefits for you too. A regular gift is a hassle-free way to donate while knowing that you are helping to improve the lives of Learning Disabled children and adults. 

How will you use my donation?

We are entirely dependent on donations to continue our vital work. Your support will help us to provide a variety of services creating opportunities for Learning Disabled children and adults.
