Making a donation
The difference you can make
We are grateful for all donations we receive, and you can be sure that your donation will give children facing challenges in their young lives, in Cirencester and the surrounding areas, the help and support they need.
As a charity providing specialist support to children and their families, we rely heavily on the generous donations we receive.
Here are some examples of how your support helps us:
Pays for a week’s two-course healthy, hot lunch at our centre for a child
Pays for 2 new books for our library
Pays for a child to enjoy a learning experience in our woodland area, to enhance their wellbeing and development
Pays for Music Therapy, supporting a child’s emotional, social and communication needs

Other ways to help
When you are shopping online
You can help COG each time you make an online purchase by visiting our:
Easy Fundraising Page
You will find all your favourite online shops and be helping COG at the same time, at no extra cost!
Clothes Recycling Collection
Please bag up and bring your clean unwanted clothes, bags, belts and shoes to COG, to help us raise funds via the Rags 2 Riches clothes recycling collection service. We arrange two large collections a year and this helps to reduce landfill waste, so it's a great way to support us to raise funds and help the environment too!
Look out for collection dates on our calendar!
Giving in memory
Make a donation in memory or leave a legacy gift in your will
You might like to remember someone by making a donation to COG.
This could be in memory of a friend or loved one or to mark a special anniversary or event.
More and more people are requesting donations to charity in lieu of flowers or gifts.
Giving in memory is a special way to celebrate a loved one.
We are always touched when someone chooses to leave a gift in their will or make a donation in memory of a loved one, to help the work of COG to continue.
Our Charity Fundraiser, Steph Smyth, would be very happy to answer any questions that you might have about gifts in memory and/or leaving a legacy in your will. Please contact Steph directly on steph@opportunity-group.co.uk.
Thank-you.
