Other ways to help…..
CORPORATE GIVING : We would love you to pick Shivia as your charity of choice to support your company’s charitable giving and CSR objectives. Please get in touch with Olly Donnelly if you would like more information about how to help Shivia in this way: olly@shivia.com
BECOME A SHIVIA AMBASSADOR: You may want to organise a fund-raising event, run a marathon or climb a mountain on our behalf. Or just spread the word about Shivia at home, at work or on social media – anything you do will make a difference to a family living in poverty in India.
PRO BONO SUPPORT: If you can offer your time, goods or services we would love to hear from you.
LEAVE A BEQUEST: Gifts from wills to Shivia help ensure that we can continue our goal of poverty alleviation. Many people choose to leave a residuary gift (a share of an estate) as it usually maintains or increases in value over time.
Including a gift to Shivia in your will is easy: If you’re making a will for the first time, all you need to do is give your solicitor our registered address and charity number (which you’ll find here) and tell them about the gift you would like to leave to Shivia.
If you already have a will, you simply need to amend your will by completing a codicil. We suggest you speak to your solicitor about how to go about completing and executing a codicil. We have set out some example wording for your codicil which may be useful when you speak to your solicitor.
