We’re on a mission to get 1000 people donating £1 each, to support local Sheffield based charities, good causes and organisations, or individuals that need help.
Signing up is easy... Simply click the JOIN.
Once you’re signed up, you’ll gain access to our
members dashboard, enabling you to donate £1 per week via a subscription.
Of course! Once you’re set up as a member you’ll be able to nominate your preferred charity via the members
dashboard.
Each week a charity will be picked to receive £1000, so that’s 52 chances per year for you
to place your nomination!
There is of course no guarantee that your charity will be chosen. If that was the case we would have to give
£1000 to every nominated charity or good cause. We will also routinely ask for new nominations as we
continue to grow and gather new members. You don’t need to re-nominate your charity - as it will remain on
the system - but feel free to send it in again, nominate another charity, or get your friends and family to
join and back up your choice with a nomination of their own. Our simple aim to support as many people in
Sheffield as we can.
Yes! This is a charity model that treats everyone equally and gives each person, family or group a real
chance to participate and contribute.
The donation is £1 per week so everyone gives exactly the same amount of money - whatever the size of your
wallet or purse.
Our team will make a shortlist of causes and charities from the applications and a decision will be put
forward by our independent judging panel which is made up of those who support voluntary organisations in
the city, represent the Race Equality Commission or are local business leaders. They read through the
nominations and make their selections based on the information they read and also rely on their years of
knowledge and experience.
We understand it might be frustrating if your nominated charity or good cause isn’t chosen but please don’t
let that discourage you. Sheffield is a wonderful city with so many worthy causes so keep nominating.
We will send out regular communications to all members to let them know where each week’s donations have
gone.
If we didn’t reach the £1000 figure we’d give away whatever we had that week. If we raised over £1000 we
would aim to get to £2000 with a view to give away 2 lots of £1000 each week.
Any money raised between £1000 and £2000 would go to our nominated charity of the year.
Absolutely not. Our plan would be to pay for all the initial costs. Like every charity, we would have to use
a small amount of money to cover legal fees but our aim is to be as streamlined as possible.
With a nominated ‘charity of the year’, at the end of each year, all the added gift aid and additional money
will be donated directly to the charity.
Of course! Whilst our goal is to get 100 people making weekly donations of £1, we would welcome and
appreciate any one-off donations made
to the charity.

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities to reclaim the tax that you have already paid on your
donations through UK Income Tax or
Capital Gains Tax.
