In order to optimise our resources (i.e. avoid unnecessary transaction charges), it is suggested that donations are made via the following methods (listed in order of preference):


  1. Bank Transfer (UK bank accounts only) - Sort Code:089300 Account No:15469717
    There is no fee for this service so 100% of your donation gets through. Avoid this method for non-UK bank accounts as the fees and hidden charges (i.e. inflated currency conversion rates) make this a wasteful option.

  2. Paypal - using 'Send money to Friend', namely dragon7@icandosomething.com
    There is no fee for this service if your Paypal account is registered in the UK and you are using funds drawn from your Paypal balance, bank account or debit card in GBP. If your Paypal account is registered outside of the UK then fees can be kept to a minimum by using funds drawn from your Paypal balance or bank account.

  3. Bitcoin - send to peter@icandosomething.com
    Small transaction fee regardless of amount or where in the World.
