Donate Money | BDCA Buddies | Donate Food & Other Items | Legacy | Volunteer | Partner with Us
BDCA receives very little funding from government and competition for grants is intense, so we really are more dependent than ever on the generosity of the community to keep our services running.
No donation is too small. And if you give monthly, you can help us do even more to change lives and transform our community!
Make a one-off donation
You can make a one-off gift to our work quickly and securely at any time through our online giving platform. You can claim Gift Aid if you’re eligible too.
Or if you prefer to donate by cheque, you can send it to us at Bonny Downs Community Association, The Well Community Centre, 49 Vicarage Lane, London E6 6DQ.
In either case, you can add a message to let us know if there’s a particular area of our work that you’d like us to put your gift towards!
