Support a Project
Support the Work Financially
Friends in Action International NI is a faith work, supported by and wholly dependent on the continued faithfulness of God’s people and generous giving of all who love and care for those in need. All donations go directly to the work and indeed to any specific project selected so you can be sure your donation will make a real difference in the lives of the people you intend to help.
You can support the work by one of the various means set out below.
Regular Giving & One-Off Donations by Debit/Credit Card
If you would like to make a donation to support water and construction work in West Africa, the quickest and easiest way is by Debit/Credit Card using our handler JustGiving. You can either set up a recurring payment or make a one-off donation. To do this, please click the “JustGiving” button below. All payments will be processed securely.
If you are a UK tax payer, please consider whether you can “Gift Aid” the donation as this will boost your donation to Friends in Action by 25%, at no extra cost to you. Every donation, of any size, will make a difference to lives!
If you have a UK bank account and would like to make a one-off transfer or perhaps even set up a regular standing order to support Friends in Action, developments in online banking in recent times have made this easy to do. Our bank details are as follows
- Bank: AIB Group

Or, if you prefer, note the bank details and make the arrangements next time you visit your bank branch.
If you are a UK tax payer, we would really appreciate you completing a Gift Aid form, which you can download HERE. This will enable us to claim an extra 25p for every Pound donated. Every donation, of any size, will make a difference to lives!
Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn or workplace giving) is a valuable, long term source of revenue for all charities, providing regular income to help budget and plan ahead more effectively.
Not only is Payroll Giving really simple, but it’s also very tax effective. How? Because your donation gets deducted before you pay the taxman. For instance, if you donate £5, only £4 comes out of your salary and the taxman pays the rest. And if you are a higher rate tax payer, a donation of £5 to Friends in Action would only cost you £3!
So ask your employer or pension provider if they run a Payroll Giving scheme and if they do not, please ask them to set one up. There are a range of Give As You Earn providers and here is a list of UK agencies approved by the HMRC. Some of the more popular schemes are shown below.
