Personal Fundraising Scheme (PFS)
Some people may choose to undertake treatment which can be costly – this might include going overseas for treatment or perhaps undertaking a private treatment programme in the UK which the NHS cannot provide.
Through Yes to Life you can set up a Personal Fundraising Scheme (PFS). All money donated to a PFS goes to the person and choice of treatment it is intended for.
So what’s different about a PFS – there are other schemes like Go Fund Me, Crowdfunding?
- Our fundraising team can help you with ideas on how to raise money and promote your PFS
- We carry out all the financial admin including making direct payments to clinics, practitioners etc. We keep you up to date on the current balance in your scheme – weekly if required
- We can help you with the technical side of setting up your scheme on a Giving Site
- You have access to your funds as they are donated
- You do not have to wait until the end of a prescribed period of time to receive donations
- All donations received on your behalf are placed into a restricted account at Yes to Life
- Your donors know that the funds are being managed through a charity which is regulated; and
- You are also helping the charity to help others, as donations from tax payers are eligible for Gift Aid (25% of the donation). Gift Aid does not come out of the donation but is paid via HMRC
You will be asked to complete an Agreement before setting up a PFS which sets out clearly how the scheme runs.
If you are interested in finding out more, please get in touch with us.
We are happy to give you a call and talk through how the PFS works and of course answer any questions you might have.
