Supporting Us

There are many ways in which you can support us, the Chinese Community in Cambridge. Three polular ways are listed below. Feel free to contact us.

Cambridge Chinese Community Centre (C4) needs volunteers to help with the social activities offered by the centre. Volunteers with special interests and skills are encouraged to initiate activities accordingly. For example, volunteers with creative skills can organise outdoor trips and activities. Likewise with sports, music, dance, karaoke and other activities can be arranged.

We also need volunteers to help in the following areas:

• Writing 'thank you' letters
• Responding to requests for information about C4
• Editing and writing Newsletters
• Organise functions.
• Computer literate, highly organized / efficient
• Community fundraising programme (Volunteers would have some experience of fundraising)
• Website updating / maintaining

Your reasons for volunteering are as individual as you are, but no matter what your reasons you can get a lot out of volunteering. You will meet a lot of interesting people.

Giving your time is a great way of building communities, while also gaining experience and adding to your own skills

The government encourages charitable giving by providing significant tax benefits when you make gifts to a qualified charity. The Gift Aid donation is a declaration you make when you give a one-off donation or wish to make regular payments to the charity. Gift Aid donations will enable us to provide better service to the community.

Your gift may be made in many ways.

Cash

Cash is still the most popular way to make charitable gifts. Your donation to the C4 could actually cost you much less at filing time.

Regular Donations      

Regular Donations Regular donations are extremely valuable to us because they allow us to plan future activities with greater confidence. There are two simple ways make regular donations:

1. By Covenant

Covenant forms are available for a variety of timeframes from 1 to several years to suit both individuals and companies.  Please speak to a member of C4 or email enqueries@CambridgeChineset.co.uk for advice on the most appropriate form for your requirements.

2. Payroll Giving

This is an excellent way of supporting the work of C4.  Donations are taken directly from pre-tax pay and are therefore completely free of tax.  In addition, for the next two years the Government has agreed to contribute an extra 10% to all payroll donations.  Payroll giving is therefore the most tax efficient way of supporting the work of Charities.

Help us to meet this aim by letting others know about this site.
