Well to our Deaf Friendly Football Pledge anyway!
The Deaf Friendly Football Club Project is designed to give all deaf children the chance to play football in a safe, supportive and fun environment, either in mainstream football clubs or deaf football clubs.
Here is one example of how the generous donations of our supporters have helped deaf children.

I spent the weekend as I’m sure many did, enjoying the sunshine, visiting a local garden. We decided on going to Easton Lodge , as this is the UK, thought we’d better check if its open and went to the website. They were open and I managed to download some information about the history of the place and what we might expect when visiting…
They had a plea for help with the message; “The gardens are seriously at risk click here for details…” Clicking the link, they have some compelling information, photos and had me wanting to help. I expected to be able to donate online, but to support them I would have to fill in a form and send it off. Having looked on a couple of related websites including Lullingstone Castle and Hatfield House this seems to be the norm, some having a link to forms, others with a donation link and message “this page is coming”. Further digging looking at the bigger charities such as National Trust and English Heritage, they DO have an option to support them online.
It just seems a bit strange to me that you put together the website as a means of promotion, you ask people to help you, but not in the medium your users are using… online.
An obvious answer would be Justgiving , set up a page and away you go… Other companies that do offer an online donations package that I know of are Bmycharity and Artez Interactive.
