Virgin Money has been the platform we have used for the last 3 years to receive your online donations..

Unfortunately, VM announced that they would stop providing this service to all charities with effect from 30th November 2021.

In common with all affected charities, we have evaluated options as secure online donations are vital to the Fund.

We are therefore moving over to CAF (Charities Aid Foundation).

This process is underway but will take a week or two as CAF are under great pressure due to the closure of VM.

Up until 30/11, if you wish to make a donation on this site, you can still do so. All funds will be received by SDCF from VM in the normal manner.

Once we have finalised the arrangements with CAF, online donations will switch securely to that platform. We hope this will be with effect from the 1st December but will keep you informed via this website.

Thank you for your continued support.
