Siren's success in achieving its aims depends on securing adequate funding for core activities and projects: We are approaching a variety of sources (such as charitable trusts, Government organizations, individuals and companies) for project-specific and unrestricted funds.

Only conservation is capable of adding to the beauty of the natural world, by restoring habitats, returning locally extinct creatures back to the wild, protecting what is already lovely. Helping Siren quite literally creates life where there was none before, creates homes for animals which would otherwise not exist. A gift of regeneration, of life itself.

It is easy to donate to Siren. Simply follow the directions below for a variety of ways to give.

Alternatively, telephone us on 01865 403345 or e-mail us at donate@siren.org.uk for further information and assistance.

To donate securely on-line with a credit or debit card visit our page on the Charities Aid Foundation website:

If you are a UK tax payer, the Charities Aid Foundation will automativally increase the value of your donation to Siren by almost 30% at no extra cost to yourself through the Gift Aid declaration on the site. Donating with Gift Aid means that for every £10 you donate, we receive £12.80. If you are a higher rate taxpayer you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 18%. So, for example if you give £100, Siren can reclaim an extra £28.21 and you can reclaim another £23.08, as a result a £100 gift worth £128.21 only costs you £76.92."

You can also provide regular support for Siren's work by donating, tax free, through your payroll (Give As You Earn or GAYE). Anyone employed by a UK organization and paying UK tax can donate through the scheme.

For every £1 you opt to donate, the taxman will make up 22p (or 40p for higher rate tax payers), so that your donation will only cost you 78p (or 60p). For example, for Siren to receive a donation of £15, you request that £15 to be deducted from your salary. For basic rate taxpayers, this will cost you £11.70 because the deduction is made before tax. For higher rate taxpayers, a £15 donation actually costs £9. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.

Making a will assures that the material wealth you leave behind goes to those individuals, organizations and causes that you care most about. Legacies can make a very great difference to our effectiveness through support for the capital activities of our projects, including the purchase of land to establish nature reserves.

We are keen to enlist the support of companies to protect and educate about nature, in the form of monetary or in-kind donations e.g. marketing assistance. Our fund raising staff are interested to hear from any company considering working with us to achieve our goals.
