How you can help us
How you can help us
We help thousands of people each year, answering enquries from patients suffering from shingles or cold sores - but mostly from those newly diagnosed with genital herpes.
We are a small charity: our income comes from the people we help. (The small grant from the Department of Health has ended because we are not doing "a new project".) We need your help to continue: any donation, large or small, will be put to good use.
You can give on-line and your credit/debit card statement will read "HVA-SPHERE".
To give by phone, please call us between 10.00am and 6.00pm (UK time), Monday to Friday on (0)20 7607 9661 and make a donation using Mastercard, VISA or Switch/Maestro. You can donate on the helpline too. To give by post, cheques should be made payable to ‘HVA’ and sent to us at 41 North Road, London N7 9DP. We also accept CAF charity cheques.
Help us be there in the future with a regular gift.
If you need information about leaving us a legacy, please call us on (0)20 7607 9661.
If you are a UK income tax payer, with Gift Aid we can claim back the tax you have paid on the money which gives us £25 on every £100 donated. You just have to state that you pay income tax - or tick the box on the form. It costs you nothing. If you are a higher rate tax payer you can claim back from the taxman yourself.
Your donation can really make a difference. If we have helped you, or a friend or relative, please help us to carry on the good work.
Your donations are vital in helping us to...
- be there with our helpline for emotional and practical support
- care for individuals by offering counselling
- overcome ignorance and stigma by raising public awareness through lobbying, campaigning and working with government and health service providers, as well as improving the image of herpes viruses in the media.
Please give today.
