We now have a DONATE button on our front page and on our website which makes it very easy for people to give us much needed funds. This is ideal for multiple small donations.

This will channel donations directly to S.O.F.T. Ireland, The Support Organisation for Trisomy13 and Trisomy18 in Ireland.

But if you do a normal fundraiser and want to get the proceeds to us then please just contact soft.treasurer@gmail.com. Also if anyone would like to fundraise for SOFT through a CAUSE with an online DONATE facility please contact us at info@softireland.com

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for an opportunity within your workplace. Sometimes companies and/or social committees look for charities to donate to. Don’t be afraid to put SOFT Ireland forward as a recipient.

Happy New Year

 

SOFT Ireland is appealing to members of the general public for a donation to our charity during the New Year period as it is the season of good will.

We support families during pre-natal diagnosis, during the child’s life and after the child’s passing.

Fundraising and donations are our main source of income and that is challenging in these difficult times.

Let’s spread the generosity.
