Ways You Can Support Us
CAPITAL is a mental health charity created for people living with mental conditions, by individuals who had lived experience of living with mental health conditions.
We have never strayed from the core principal of creating a peer support network for everyone who needs it.

Easy Fundraising
Do you shop online? Perhaps you order your weekly groceries, or just buy a yearly insurance policy? Perhaps your employer buys office supplies online?
If so, and you’re looking for an easy, no hassle way to raise money for CAPITAL, easyfundraising is it!
Easyfundraising is a platform that supports charities by partnering with over 7500 of the UK’s best known brands to donate a percentage of what their customers spend to their favourite causes.
All you need to do is sign up to the easyfundraising website, follow their step by step instructions to open an account, and then choose CAPITAL as your favourite cause to support.
As well as making a donation for your favourite charity each time you shop, you’ll also earn a stamp on your easyfundraising loyalty card. Once your card is full, you can enter the monthly draw to win a £3000 donation to your cause.
Once you’ve signed up, you can download the browser extension which will let you know that there is a donation available every time you browse a partner site. If you use your mobile phone, you’ll just need to remember to visit easyfundraising first, click on the partner you wish to purchase from, and you’ll be taken through to their own website where you can shop as usual.
Your purchase will be tracked in your easyfundraising account, where you can see how much you’ve raised for CAPITAL , alongside updates on when we receive your donations.
Payroll Giving
Did you know that you can donate to CAPITAL through your weekly wages or monthly salary; enabling us to support even more people with mental health challenges?
Not only is it easy to set up, but you also pay no tax on your donation!
All you need to do is speak to your employer’s HR or payroll team, who can add you to their scheme for the next available pay run. If they don’t already have one, they can contact one of the government approved Payroll Giving Agencies to sign up. (Some agencies charge an administration fee that will be taken from your payment. If this is the case, and your employer doesn’t cover the payment for you, you can always contact us to make a direct monthly payment, with no charges, if you’d prefer).
Your company will give you a Donation Choice form to complete, which will ask which charity you’d like to support. You will need the following information if you’d like to support us.
CAPITAL PROJECT TRUST
Charity number 1087420
Your donation will be deducted from your wages or salary each time the payroll is run. The payment is sent by your employer to the Payroll Giving agency, who then forward it to us for use in our work.
Simple as that!
