How does the money I raise make a difference?

Expand
Continued cuts to both the arts and services for disabled people mean that our resources are tight and every donation has an impact upon our work. Your support helps disabled people overcome the barriers they face and enjoy equal access to arts and culture. The money you raise will help us create our vision of an inclusive, equal and accessible cultural sector.

How does Gift Aid work?

If you are a UK taxpayer you can increase the value of your gift to Shape, at no extra cost to you, by signing a Gift Aid declaration. With your permission, this allows us to claim back an extra 25p for every £1 you donate.

How is Shape funded?

Expand
Shape relies on a range of sources of income including the generous support of trusts and individuals who are passionate about our cause. As a National Portfolio organisation Shape we have also been supported by Arts Council England for many years. In the current economic climate we are faced with increased pressure on our resources.  Your donation is more important than ever.

Where does my money go?

Expand
89p in every £1 goes directly to our charitable activities. We work hard to ensure that all of your donations are having the greatest impact possible. In order to ensure that Shape continues to be a sustainable organisation a small % of your support goes to our supporting costs. If you gift aid you donation this will be more than covered.
