National Giving Week

Charities Aid Foundation - Kent Small Logo

Following the tremendous success of the UK’s first National Giving Week, CAF has launched National Giving Week 2005, which is running from 17 October to 23 October 2005.

Under the banner Make more of a difference, they will be highlighting the invaluable work of charities, and challenging all donors to make the most of their giving.

As a not-for-profit organisation itself, CAF is committed to effective giving and through National Giving Week, they want to raise levels of giving and ensure that, wherever possible, that support is fully tax-efficient.

To achieve this, they will be working alongside leading national and regional organisations, from the Daily Mail, Barclaycard, and BBC Children in Need, to Magic fm, the Kent Messenger and the Community Channel.

By working with donors to identify the best ways to give, and companies to ensure that their giving has maximum impact, they want to make regular, tax-efficient giving to charity a part of everyday life.

Household names support National Giving Week

An increasing number of household brands are championing National Giving Week 2005.

Argos, Prudential UK, Everyclick.com, National Grid Plc, Loot Limited, Legal & General, BG Group, Ernst & Young and General Motors UK & Ireland are just some of the names pledging their support for the campaign this year.

John Thurley, Director of National Giving Week commented:

We are delighted with the number of companies supporting the campaign this year. It underlines CAF’s recent Charity Trends research which shows that corporate community involvement is increasing, with a growing number of companies donating 1% of their pre tax profits.
