How Can I Help?

We are grateful to individuals and organisations that support our vital life saving service. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference as we strive to reach $1Million each year. It is reassuring to know that these valuable contributions help maintain a FREE and vital service to all residents and visitors to our region.

Sponsorship

CHRS highly values financial support from companies of all sizes. Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming an increasingly important part of business. Sponsorship has taxation advantages and organizations benefit from the goodwill of employees and the general community

Payroll Deduction Scheme

Payroll giving is the most tax efficient way for PAYE tax payers to give to charity directly from their salary. It is tax effective because the amount you decide to give is deducted from your pay before tax is calculated (the tax savings are even greater for higher-rate payers).

For CHRS, payroll deductions economize on both time and money and ensure a steady cash flow for the service to continue its vital work. The 'Target 10,000' campaign aims to enlist the help of 10,000 employees in the region who are willing to donate just $2 per week to help achieve our annual $1Million target. However, every dollar helps and you can give as little or as much as your budget allows.

Donations

Gifts to CHRS make a significant difference to the lives of those in need. Many of our donors contribute on a regular basis, monthly, quarterly or half-yearly. Donations can be made by post, phone or bank transfer.

Bequests, In Memory and gifts

Making a Will is not about death or dying - it is about the satisfaction of sharing your good fortune with a cause close to your heart. We have seen a growth in bequests and 'In Memory' giving. Increasingly, people are also donating in lieu of birthday, Christmas and farewell gifts in the workplace. These donations have a lasting impact on the lives of others.

General Fundraising

Why not hold your own fundraising event? Doing your own fundraising can be hugely successful, and is always good fun! Events such as golf days, auctions, sausage sizzles are just a few ways to have fun and help others.

In an emergency, it is vital to get help to the scene as quickly as possible. With your support we can continue to be there, bringing help and hope to those who need it most.
