Donations/LegaciesDonationsCan be little or large, as every penny is well used at The New Arc. We usually have around 400-500 animals, all of which need to be fed, receive veterinary treatment and accomodated. Our costs are very high, and donations are very low, so we appreciate everything.
If you are planning to do a sponsored event to fundraise for us, please ask for our sponsor form and give us full details of the event, date, time, and we can then add it to our news page. Please note if you are a tax payer, and fill in a Gift Aid Form for us, we can claim an extra 28p per £1 from the Government. It costs you nothing over your original donation but helps us a tremendous amount. You can download a Gift Aid Form here, or ask us for one.

Legacies
A large proportion of our funding comes from our members and friends in one way or another, whether through sponsorship, donations or developing fundraising activities. When making your Will, you can also choose to leave a gift in your Will to The New Arc. We spend a lot of money in a year and the constant security a gift in your will offers allows us to plan ahead. Last year's expenditure was around £17,000, which equalled our income. We take no wages, or expenses for telephone, fuel etc. and pay nothing by way of rent or rates. Why make a Will?Your Will allows you to appropriate funds to your exact wishes, however, nearly two-thirds of adults have not made a Will. Any gift in your Will is also exempt from Inheritance Tax. Making a WillWhen making a Will you should consult a solicitor. Friends may recommend one or you can check the internet or yellow pages. The services of a solicitor help ensure your wishes are carried out according to your wishes. Check the fee – it will probably be less than you expected.
