2. The Giving Machine is a new and super easy online tool, which allows you to generate donations to The Fostering Network every time you shop online.

- Payroll giving:
This is an easy way to take your support further and improve life for children in foster care now and into the future. You choose how much you wish to give each month. The donation is taken from your pay, before tax, so it will actually cost you less. For example:
- if you pay the basic rate tax, a £5 donation to The Fostering Network will cost you only £4
- If you are a higher rate tax payer, a £10 donation will cost you only £6.
Speak to your employer today and ask your payroll department about setting up a donation to The Fostering Network (quoting our registered charity number - 280852). If your employer doesn't have a scheme, let us know and we can help them to set one up!
- Celebrate:
A wedding, a birthday or a special anniversary are fantastic occasions on which to share your passion for supporting children in foster care with your friends, family, and guests. Why not add a little something extra special to the day by asking friends and family to make a donation in support of the Fostering Network's work of instead of a gift?
