Donations and fundraising
For more than 35 years, SSJ has been working to help some of the most vulnerable people in our county to develop skills to maintain a home. The generous gifts of our supporters have helped this homeless charity to provide creative and innovative services, and to transform the lives of those in need.

Standing order donations
Supporting SSJ by standing order is one of the best ways in which you can help us to enable the most vulnerable people in our city to transform their lives.
Our local community does not stay the same; it constantly changes and develops. In a similar way the needs and difficulties faced by vulnerable people in our community also change over time. The Society of St James seeks to adapt to these changes and provide services that reflect local need. Standing orders play a big part in helping us to do this as they help us to plan more effectively for the future. Furthermore, they cut administration costs so that more money can go directly to our services.
Making your donation by standing order is a convenient way for you to give regular support. You can alter or stop your standing order at any time by contacting your bank.
If you would like to give regularly to SSJ by standing order, then please complete this form and send it back to us. We appreciate all standing order donations, whether big or small; whatever you feel able to give will help us to make a real difference.
Non-monetary gifts
We are always in need of food for our hostels, toiletries and clothes for new residents, and decorating materials to help us keep our housing projects in good condition. Please contact Southampton Street on 02380 223479 if you would like to donate any of these types of goods.
