Optional Contribution
The Freedom Journey is completely free, thanks to our generous supporters! However, if you are able to make a donation towards costs, it would be gratefully received. On average it costs £2,500 per participant, so any amount towards that helps us to keep this service going. It’s important to know that there is no pressure, and the outcome of your application is NOT dependant on whether you are able to make a donation.
Suggested amounts (or chose your own!):
Donate just £8 a week for 16 weeks, or make a one off donation of £125
Donate just £16 a week for 16 weeks, or make a one off donation of £250
*Please note: weekly donations will continue automatically, but stopping them after 16 weeks is easily done online, or you can just contact a member of the team who will be able to help you do that: communications@mercyuk.org
