FAQs

What is Caldicott Giving Day, and why are you doing it?

Caldicott Giving Day is a day like no other in our calendar. It’s an opportunity for everyone in our community - parents, teachers, Old Caldicotians and supporters - to come together online for 36 hours and show their collective support for the School.

This giving day is extra special because your gifts will also help unlock an extra £45,000 for our giving day through a range of participation challenges. Overall, we’re aiming to inspire at least 150 members of our community to make a gift. It’s all about participation.

How will my donation make a difference?

Real impact happens when communities work together. Today is all about participation. Gifts of all sizes are important, with each gift, no matter its size, will help to unlock an additional £45,000.

Is it secure to donate online?

Absolutely. Giving online is the quickest, easiest and safest way to donate to the School. Our payment processors, Stripe (for one-off payments) and GoCardless (for recurring payments), are both widely recognised and known for their security in compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).

What if I don’t want to donate online?

That’s fine. Every gift, no matter how you give it, will be counted. Other ways to give:

Cheque: Made payable to The Caldicott Foundation and posted to: The Caldicott Foundation, Caldicott, Crown Lane, Slough, SL2 3SL, United Kingdom.

Bank Transfer: Account name: Caldicott Trust Ltd | Account number: 14411849 | Sort code: 40-51-62 | IBAN: GB52HAND40516214411849 | SWIFT: HANDGB22 | Reference: CF [+ your initials]

I’m not available on Giving Day. Can I give another time?

Yes, if you’d like to make your donation before giving day, we are welcoming early donations, which will still be counted and eligible for match and challenge funding. Simply donate via our Make a Donation form below.

Can I claim gift aid on this donation?

If you are a UK taxpayer and have paid as much Income Tax and/or Capital Gains tax as the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year, we can reclaim the basic tax rate (25%) on your gift, with no extra cost to you. 

How can I set up a recurring payment?

Monthly, quarterly, or annual donations are especially important to allow us to plan for the future. Visit: https://foundation.caldicott.com/fundraising/donation and choose the regular giving option.
