How you can help

Donate
We are so appreciative of all the ways people help us. However it is definitely true to say that the most important way people can assist us is by donating money to the operational costs of the home. This money goes directly towards running the home and is the best way to support the children. You can donate now online or send a cheque to Cholmondeley at PO Box 12276, Beckenham, Christchurch 8242

Join Charity Begins at Home
Sign up to give a dollar a day! Your ongoing support is vitally important to the work we do at Cholmondeley. Support Cholmondeley for a mere dollar a day! Or you can contact the home on 03-329 9832 and we can send an automatic payment authority out to you.

Make a bequest to Cholmondeley
A bequest is a gift to charity after your death. Bequests can make a significant difference to Cholmondeley, and will allow you to leave a lasting legacy to the Children of Canterbury. For more information on how to leave a bequest from Cholmondeley.

Collection box
Place a Cholmondeley collection box in your work reception, store counter or clubrooms. It is very easy, we will deliver and collect the box to you as often as you wish. The Cholmondeley collection box will not only brighten up the space but will also allow people to donated any loose change to a great cause. Its definitely true that all of the pennies add up very quickly!

If you're interested in a collection box contact Sarah Barrer on 03 329 9832

Payroll giving
The easy way to get your employees involved with your chosen charity. There are two ways and you can choose whatever suits your workplace and payrolls system best.

1. Donating a specific amount each week/fortnight/month – eg. 20 dollars a week taken directly from your pay with the accumulated company total being transferred directly to Cholmondeley
2. Donating an “hour of your pay” – donate the last hour of the week to Cholmondeley. The amount you donate would directly relate to how much you are paid per hour, again the accumulated company total would be directly transferred to Cholmondeley. Why not donate your final hour on a Friday…..you’re not really going to be doing any working that hour, now are you!?

If your company would like to upgrade the employee giving then why not match the employee donations dollar for dollar. That way the employee and employer are both equal contributors in the charity partnership.
