supporting inclusion, challenging exclusion
support us
CSIE continues to have a vital role in working for the human rights of all children, irrespective of any differences, whether real or perceived, to be fully included in mainstream society. We rely on donations in order to continue our work.

If you want to help us bridge the gap between national policies and current practice, you might like to make a monthly donation to CSIE. This will help our ongoing work to facilitate the development of more inclusive education in ordinary local schools, so that everyone can achieve and feel valued and respected.
Please contact the CSIE office for further details.
If you feel you are unable to make a monthly donation at this time, please consider supporting us with a single donation.
Please don’t forget to mention CSIE to your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to support our work too.
Single Cash Donations
We have an online donation service provided by Charity Choice in association with The Co-operative Bank Plc. It uses an advanced encryption technology making it safe and secure. Neither Charity Choice nor the Co-operative Bank Plc make any charge for processing or administering donations and they currently pay all card issuer charges. This means that 100% of your donation will reach CSIE.
Once you have selected the above ‘donate now’ button and completed the basic details, you will receive an email confirmation of your donation, which is a sufficient receipt for tax purposes. This will then appear as 'Charity Choice' on your statement. You can choose to remain anonymous but please consider using GiftAid to make your donation go further: for every £10 you donate CSIE can receive an additional £2.80 from the government and you may be able to claim tax relief on your donation.
For more information on this online donation service please see Charity Choice's online donations frequently asked questions page.
Please contact the CSIE office if you prefer to make a donation by cash or cheque and please remember to mention CSIE to your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to support our work also.
Payroll Giving
If you are passionate about inclusive education and want to best support our work, payroll giving is the best way for you do this on an individual level. Your donation will be deducted from your pay before tax. This means, it only costs you £8 to give £10 or if you are a higher rate tax payer only £5 to give £10. If you are an employee and are unsure how to make this happen please speak to your payroll department, if applicable, in the first instance, or take a look at the HMRC website which provides further details on how to set such a scheme up.
Payroll Giving is a valuable, long term source of revenue, providing regular income that will help CSIE to budget and plan ahead more effectively. It is also the only way for anyone paying 40% or 50% tax to donate all of their tax on a donation automatically. . Only 28% can be recouped via other ways of giving. So if you earn over £44,000 per year this is the best way to support us tax effectively.
Please don’t forget to mention CSIE to your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to support our work too.
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match gifts made by their employees to registered charities. Check to see if your employer has such a program and if your support of CSIE qualifies for eligibility. Where they don’t, you might like to encourage them to begin such an initiative. Your gift could double or triple in value with no additional cost to you and your employer can show that they support important causes!
Please contact the CSIE office if you would like us to send any free publications to your employer and don’t forget to mention this to your friends, family and colleagues who may work elsewhere.
Corporate Partnerships
Corporations and institutions such as schools can support CSIE in many valuable ways. A monetary gift shows your clients, colleagues and employees that you care about children’s rights and about inclusive education.
Below are some of the opportunities currently available for partnership:
- Payroll giving - Encourage your employees to give to CSIE. Through engaging with payroll giving your employees can donate more of their wages pre-tax at no additional cost to you. Through having such schemes set up you show that you care about charitable causes.
- Sponsorship - Add value to your core business and gain great publicity. Sponsorship provides a great means of broadening your competitive edge by improving your company's image, prestige and credibility by supporting events that your target market finds attractive.
- Corporate Donations - Your donation can make a huge difference. Increasingly companies are looking at how they can assist the communities they exist in. Corporate donations are one such way providing lasting and meaningful results for not just CSIE and those that we help but also you, the donor company. Benefits include improved public perception of your company and its place in the community. By demonstrating genuine empathy you can set your business apart, leading to further benefits such as improved staff retention, increased public profile and more satisfied investors.
- Employee Fundraising - Build team spirit and help improve education. Supporting CSIE through employee fundraising has excellent benefits for both companies and their staff and can help raise invaluable funds for our work. In turn you will have the opportunity to motivate staff and develop new skills, increase teamwork and loyalty amongst employees, impart a positive atmosphere throughout your organisation and project a positive corporate image to staff, clients, suppliers and all of your stakeholders.
If sponsorship of CSIE is being considered, this can be tailored to reflect your preferences, from underwriting specific projects (for example a new publication or work on a specific theme, for example gender equality) to sponsoring individual events.If your place of work does not engage with corporate partnerships you could try and encourage them to.
If you, your school, or place of work would like to organise a fundraising event in support of CSIE please contact the CSIE office and we will try to support your event.

With the holiday season fast approaching making a contribution in lieu of giving corporate gifts is a great way to demonstrate the spirit of giving to your clients.
Please contact the CSIE office if you would like us to send any free publications to your employer and don’t forget to mention this to your friends and family who may work elsewhere.

You can leave us a gift in your will that will help us to continue with our work for many years to come. Please consult your solicitor if you already have a will. If you are considering making a will, you may find the Remember a Charity in your Will website useful and specifically the document: Your guide to making a will.
Please don’t forget to mention CSIE to your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to support our work too.
