We are able to accept gifts through payroll giving schemes, if your employer offers this.

Please contact: treasurer@opendoorstalbans.org who will be able to provide any information your employer’s scheme requires.

Legacies

You may wish to leave a legacy to Open Door in your will. We aim to use these for specific projects.

The value of charitable legacies is deducted from your estate for Inheritance Tax, so may reduce the amount of tax payable.

We advise you to talk to a solicitor when making or changing your will.

Contact: treasurer@opendoorstalbans.org if you have any queries.

One of our former residents got back in touch to say:

I now have a job, I’m married and have a child. Without the support of the Open Door Charity, it couldn’t have happened. Please help them to turn around people’s lives.
