What your gift does
- Secondary school education
- Food
- Accommodation
School costs rise as children get older. A monthly gift of £20 covers a secondary school child's food, accommodation and education.
R.E.A.CH is run by unpaid volunteer trustees — no one takes a wage or claims expenses — so your gift goes to the education and care of the children we support.

Questions about giving
How much does it cost to send a child to school?
Costs vary depending on the child's age — the older they get, the more expensive it becomes. As an example, £12.50 will pay for a primary school child to attend school for a month, and £20 a month provides a secondary school child with food, accommodation and education.
How can I donate to R.E.A.CH?
You can give online through PayPal (a one-off gift or a regular donation, by card or PayPal balance), by cheque made payable to "Bury African Outreach" and posted to our registered address, or by debit or credit card — contact us to set that up.
Can I add Gift Aid to my donation?
Yes. If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid lets the charity claim an extra 25% from the government at no cost to you — a £100 donation becomes £125. Email us for a copy of our Gift Aid form.
Does the charity pay wages?
No. No one involved with the charity takes a wage or claims expenses. R.E.A.CH is run entirely by unpaid volunteer trustees.
Where does all the money come from?
Approximately 70% comes via monthly direct debits and the rest comes from fundraising events.
