Support Us

Donate to the AdviceUK Foundation Fund

The Foundation Fund is AdviceUK’s vehicle for raising funds to financially support our members. The Fund received its first donation in 2017 and we’ve been building it since to create an endowment and income from which to provide grants.

Donate to AdviceUK to support our work

Every pound we receive really does makes a difference.

We are an independent charity working to support the provision of independent advice to the general public. We receive no government funding for our running costs. We generate a high proportion of our income ourselves from fees and commissions but beyond that we seek grants and donations to channel more support to our members – many of whom have very small budgets indeed.

Donating to AdviceUK will allow us to do more for our members at less cost to them. It will enable us to provide more member events and communications, to deliver more expert training and to influence positive change for the advice sector at a national level.

If you pay income tax, your donation will be worth even more to us if you pay through the Gift Aid scheme.

For information on how you can support us via Payroll Giving, please go to: https://www.gov.uk/payroll-giving

If you are sending a cheque, please send your donation to:
AdviceUK, 83 Victoria St, London SW1H 0HW

Gifts left in wills are also an option to donate to AdviceUK. Any amount, large or small, will help. We are always grateful for what you can give. Your solicitor or legal adviser will be able to advise you how to go about this.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsor an AdviceUK Event

Sponsoring an AdviceUK event gives your organisation exposure to a significant and diverse range of advice-giving organisations, at the event itself and during its promotion in the lead up to the event via social media and email channels.

We have a range of sponsorship packages to choose from, so please get in touch with us for more information.

Sponsor a Trainee

It is vital that people giving advice are properly trained. This training however, can prove expensive for small charities. You can alleviate this cost burden by sponsoring one or more trainees as they undertake our Learning To Advise course.

Contact us for more information.

Sponsor Research

We do not have sufficient funds to have a permanently staffed research team. However, we have a track-record of commissioning important pieces of research. You could lend your name to a similarly important project by sponsoring such research.

Any cuts to PIP could push advice services beyond breaking point, warns AdviceUK.

AdviceUK welcomes the Timms Review interim report’s finding that the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment process is “dehumanising” and “degrading”, saying it reflects what free and independent advice services have been seeing for years.  The UK’s largest network of independent advice organisations says the current PIP system places an enormous burden not only on disabled people but also on the advice services supporting them. Around […]

Responding to the National Audit Office report, Liz Bayram, Chief Executive of AdviceUK said: “The National Audit Office (NAO) is right: too many people are struggling with essential household bills because they simply don’t know that support is available. Our 700 members who provide free and independent advice regularly help people access social tariffs, negotiate […]

Cuts to PIP could push advice services beyond breaking point, warns AdviceUK

AdviceUK has warned that cuts or tighter eligibility rules for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could push free and independent advice services beyond breaking point, increasing hardship for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions, while driving further demand for crisis support. AdviceUK member organisations, providing frontline welfare benefits advice, have said that even tentative discussions of possible PIP cuts are already leading to increased anxiety and demand for support. In its response to the Timms Review, which […]

Milburn review: What are advice services seeing with young people and work

AdviceUK has welcomed reports that the Milburn Review will call for a “system reset” to tackle rising youth unemployment and economic inactivity, but warns that reform will fail unless the Government recognises the critical role free and independent advice services play in supporting young people facing barriers to work and training.  AdviceUK, the UK’s largest network […]
