We need you to help us in our mission
Whether you happen to be 8 or 80, if you have the heart, the hands, and the mind to help others in difficulty, then let nothing stop you
We were established in 1999 to help those who are unable to help themselves due to war, poverty and displacement.
We take your donations, We obtain the aid that is needed right now, We drive or backload the aid directly to those who need it.
How you can help
Sometimes the simplest actions can still create donations:
- Day to day purchases on Amazon can provide a kickback to us. You just need to register Hope and Aid Direct as your chosen charity and shop at Amazon Smile rather than the standard website. Everything is all the same, we just get a small percentage from Amazon.
- You can also donate via ebay by setting up Hope and Aid Direct as your chosen charity.
- Does your workplace donate to charity? We have teamed up with Work For Good who specialise in business giving. Please encourage any employers to register with them and help support us.
- For hotel and restaurant bookings book through Charitable Bookings and choose Hope and Aid Direct as your chosen charity.
- More donations to Hope and Aid Direct from your day to day shopping on the web, sign up with Give as you Live and again choose Hope and Aid Direct as your supported charity.
