For local people

Keep your community online.

Give whatever you can each month. It goes into a shared pot, and every £20 a month in the pot funds another community website. There is no need to find neighbours to split a bill.

Choose your monthly amount

Every amount goes into the shared pot, and every £20 a month in it funds another community website. You can stop at any time and payments stop.

£10a month

Half of one community website. Four people at £10 a month fund two.

Sponsor £10 a month

Your amount

Any amount in £5 steps. On the payment page, set the quantity: each unit is £5 a month.

Choose your amount

Prefer to give once? Any one-off amount goes into the same shared pot. Once the pot reaches £240, a community website is assigned to it and funded for a year. Give a one-off amount.

Choose how you are credited. After you pay, a short form lets you say whether to be listed by full name, by first name only or not at all, and whether you would like your support to lean towards a type of group or an area. You can also fill it in now.

Card payments are taken on Stripe's secure page. This is a sponsorship, not a donation: JW Community Websites is not a charity, so Gift Aid does not apply.

Why it matters

A practical way to give back

Most community groups are run by volunteers with very little money and even less spare time. A good website helps people find them, join them and hire them. Your monthly amount helps make that possible.

Help people find them

Opening times, events, contact details and news, all in one place that is always up to date.

Take a load off volunteers

The group sends us one batch of changes a week and we do the rest. No logging in, no learning anything new.

See where it goes

Your money keeps real, live websites running, and the Our communities page shows which groups the pot has funded.

How it works

Four steps to sponsoring

If you would like your support to lean towards a type of group or an area, say so. It will be taken into account.

Choose your amount

Pick £10 or £20 a month, or set your own amount in £5 steps.

Pay by card

You set up your monthly payment on Stripe's secure page. Stop at any time and payments stop.

Choose your credit

After paying, a short form lets you decide whether to be listed by name, first name only or anonymously, and share any preference for a type of group or area.

Your money goes to work

Your payment goes into the pot, and each week it's used to fund the next group on the list.

Good to know

Straight answers

It is a sponsorship, not a donation. JW is not a charity, so Gift Aid does not apply. The money pays for websites to be built, hosted and kept up to date.

The pot is shared. Your preference is taken into account, but it can't be promised that your money reaches one particular group.

No contract. Stop whenever you want. If the pot shrinks, sites that were already funded stay live for three months while the difference is made up.
