Donate for free with givewater.org
Givewater.org.uk is now one of the most successful fundraising websites in the UK, and this year some new features have been launched on the site including an exciting game.
Thames Water have already donated £150,000 to WaterAid after reaching the target of two million visitors to the site, but now they will give us a further £50,000 if we get another one million clicks by June.
A gift for the future
Last year Ruth Black passed away at the age of 79 after a lifetime collecting antiques. Over the years she turned her Edinburgh flat into a showpiece of European and Oriental decorative arts ranging from French revival furniture to European and Oriental ceramics as well as Art Deco and Victorian jewellery.
WaterAid was fortunate to be named as one of the beneficiaries of The Ruth Black Collection, which raised an astonishing £144,000 towards our overseas work.
Whatever the size of your legacy you can still make a big difference to our vital work. To request one of our legacy brochures call Rebecca Wood on 020 7793 4529 or email legacies@wateraid.org
