Donate to support the work of The Pituitary Foundation

The Pituitary Foundation depends on fundraising and donations from individuals, companies, grant-making trusts, benefactors, and efforts by our Local Support Groups to fund our services.

Remember that every donation helps!

It doesn't matter if you can give £5 or £5,000, every amount helps us to continue our work to support and inform the Pituitary Community.  And if you are a UK taxpayer, your donation could be increased through       Gift Aid by 20% or more.

If you would like to donate on-line, just click on the button!

It's as easy as that !
 
Don't forget, if you're a UK taxpayer, you can increase your donation by more than 20%
by making a Gift Aid Declaration. Click to download the form:

Shop Online:  Do you like online shopping? You can now shop online using the EasyFundraising website and raise money for The Pituitary Foundation at the same time!

All you need to do is register at Easyfundraising (http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/) and choose The Pituitary Foundation, (listed as Pituitary Foundation), to benefit from your online purchases.  There is no extra cost to you and we will receive either an outright donation, or a percentage of your purchases. There are many big named stores including Amazon, Boots, Next, Evans, Halfords, HMV, The Body Shop and many, many more. Register on EasyFundraising, refer your friends, and help us raise money at no cost to you!

Greeting Cards: Another way to help us raise money is by purchasing greeting cards online.  The Greeting Card Company donates a percentage of every sale to The Pituitary Foundation.  You can find a wide range of cards (birthday, greetings, special occasion and personalised), gift wrap, gifts and all purchases add up!  To shop and raise funds, go to The Pituitary Foundation Charity Card Page.

      Do you already use eBay.co.uk to sell your unwanted items?  If so, you can now raise funds for The Pituitary Foundation at the same time!

The Foundation has signed up to eBay for Charity and this lets you donate between 10% to 100% of your final sale price to our fundraising.  For each listed item you'll also get a fee credit on your basic insertion and final value fees equal to the percentage you donate (so if you donate 50% of your selling price to a charity, eBay will waive 50% of your fees).  eBay for Charity listings are the same as any other eBay listing, except for the blue and yellow eBay for Charity ribbon symbol in the search results.

  • Once you're ready to sell your item, go to the Sell hub and select Advanced Sell.
  • Look out for the charity box just below where you set your price. Select The Foundation and the percentage of your final selling price that you'd like to donate. (Note: The minimum donation is £1 per listing).
  • A week after your item sells, MissionFish (eBay's charity partner) will automatically collect the donation from you. You can also manage your donations through the My Donations section of My eBay, under the My Account tab. Any fee credits will appear on your next invoice.

For more information about selling items on eBay for Charity, please click here. If you have not previously used eBay but would like to find out more, please click here to see the eBay Explained web page.

If you know how eBay works and would like to register so that you can buy and sell, then click here to go straight to the Register page.

EveryClick:  The Pituitary Foundation can receive money for every search made on the search engine, EveryClick.  Just go to www.everyclick.com and set up The Pituitary Foundation as your chosen charity, and we'll receive money for your online searches - and it doesn't cost you a penny!

Recycle:  The Pituitary Foundation receives money for every used inkjet cartridge and old mobile phone recycled through Recycle 4 Charity.  Each used inkjet earns us £1.00 (50p if it has already been recycled) and phones can bring £2.50 each (for phones made before 1998), £5.00 (for those manufactured after 1998) and even up to over £25! 

If you, or your company or school, would like Recycle 4 Charity bags so you can send your empty inkjets or old mobiles and help to raise money for The Pituitary Foundation, email us at fundraising@pituitary.org.uk
