  • £20 provides the basic food for one day’s lunches
  • £50 pays for counselling to assess a client’s needs and to prepare a care plan
  • £100 helps us to settle a client into accommodation
  • £200 covers the cost of a week’s IT training
  • £500 helps us to make essential improvements to our Day Centre

If you donate shares to SHOC, you can obtain tax relief at your highest rate on their market value as well as exemption from any Capital Gains Tax. This means that donating £100 worth of shares to us will only cost you £60.

You might also like to consider making a bequest to SHOC in your Will. Leaving a legacy gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you have made a lasting contribution to our work. Most solicitors can advise you on how to make a charitable bequest.

However you make your donation to SHOC, it can be worth 28% more to us under the Government's Gift Aid scheme if you are an income tax payer. And if you pay tax at the higher rate of 40%, you will also receive further tax relief on your donation. Please state whether you are making your donation under Gift Aid so we can recover the tax paid.

Success Story

"The Worshipful the Mayor of Slough, Cllr Jagjit Grewal, presented horticulture certificates to a group of users from Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC) on Wednesday, September 29. The group of seven people have been busy preparing an allotment plot and growing their own produce, with the support of their tutors from adult lifelong learning. The delicious vegetables have been a big hit at SHOCs base at Serena Hall in Burlington Avenue when they were served up for lunch. The project has seen the residents produce a portfolio of work that has led to five gaining a certificate in horticultural production."
