Monthly donations from Friends of YMCA Exeter help us to consistently show up for young people, month after month.
Before the end of the year is over, we have a goal of 100 regular monthly givers – can you help, to be part of the 100?
Since 1846, we have continuously adapted to meet the needs of our community. Today, we rely on the generosity of Friends who make our work possible with a monthly donation.

A regular donation can be made by setting up a Direct Debit with CAF Donate.
Gift Aid lets us claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you donate — at no extra cost to you. So your £10 a month becomes £12.50, and £30 a month becomes £37.50, just by ticking one box.
To be eligible, you need to be a UK taxpayer and have paid at least as much Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year as the amount you’re asking us to claim.
Because you’re setting up a regular gift, you only need to tick the Gift Aid box once when you sign up — it will then apply automatically to every future monthly payment, for as long as you remain a UK taxpayer. There’s nothing more for you to do.
