Fundraising

We raise money by donations, membership subscriptions, sponsorship and legacies to fund our projects. We are a registered charity so are able to take advantage of Gift Aid and other government assistance to the charity sector.

Support us with an online donation

Our projects on the Cotswold Way and other trails depend on the generosity of our members and supporters.  Give as you Live is our preferred platform for donations because it’s easy to use, secure and no subscription charges.

Make a donation by bank transfer

If you would prefer to transfer your donation by BACS, our sort code is: 405240 and account number is 00029967

Fund a Footpath

You might like to help us restore a portion of trail surface – restoring a metre of trail costs about £40. Please contact us on info@cotswoldwayassocation.org.uk for more details.

Legacy Gifts

There are two main ways you can leave a gift to a charity in a will:

1. A pecuniary gift – when you leave a specific amount of money or asset

2. A residuary gift – when you leave a percentage of your estate. Residuary gifts are especially helpful because, being a percentage rather than a specific sum, they will benefit from any inflation

If you’d like to make a legacy gift, you’ll find more information about the different types and how to make them by clicking HERE. You’ll see that it’s a simpler process than you might have thought. It’s also relatively straightforward to add  a brief codicil to an existing will making provision for such a legacy.
