Regular Giving

A little makes a big difference

Supporting Orpheus with a regular gift is a simple way of showing our students that you care about their future. Many of us don’t think twice at spending £3 on a cup of coffee, but just £3 could make so much difference to our work and the lives of our students. And if each of our supporters gave a little each month, together that little donation can turn into a pretty big donation!

By giving regularly, each month, or year, our students can feel safe knowing that the Centre can continue to support and teach them, long into the future.

So next time you're in need of a pick me up, visit our website to look and listen to where your donations are helping give students the confidence they need to live independent and fulfilling lives.

Donate now by Direct Debit using our quick and simple online form, or email us to ask about other ways to support [email protected].
