However you support The Connection, you’ll be making a huge difference to our work.
Here are a few ways to get started:
Donate Through Our Website
The best way to help us continue to support people experiencing homelessness is to give a regular or one-off gift. Alternatively, you can make a donation by telephone by calling the fundraising team on +44 (0)20 7766 5555.
Remember that if you are a UK taxpayer, you can Gift Aid your donations and we will receive an extra 25% on your donation, at no extra cost to you. Just complete the Gift Aid form.

Leaving a Legacy
Writing Your Will
Writing a Will is a powerful thing: it allows you to take care of your family and friends, to make sure your wishes are carried out and it is a chance to give to causes and charities which you care about. Gifts in Wills are a vital part of enabling us to continue the work we do to help people recover from homelessness.
We understand that when you are writing a Will, your family and loved ones will be your first priority. Once you have provided for those closest to you, you may consider including a gift to The Connection that could one day transform people’s lives in the years to come.
Please note, we cannot provide legal advice, and recommend that you seek advice from a solicitor who will be able to advise you on all aspects of leaving a legacy to The Connection at St Martin In the fields.
Notifying us of a Gift
We understand that your Will is a private document and we would never ask you to disclose the contents to us. However if you would like to notify us we do always like to say thank you and by telling us of your intention to leave a gift, we would like to thank you for thinking of us in your lifetime.
