+ Patronage FAQ's

How do I become a Patron

It’s simple — just get in touch with our fundraising team and we’ll guide you through the process. Together, we’ll find the level of support that works best for you or your organisation.

How long does my Patronage last?

All levels of Patron are for 12 months from the date of purchase, with the exception of Life Patrons

Can I Gift Aid my Patronage?

If you are a UK taxpayer please consider signing up for Gift Aid when you purchase a Patronage. Gift Aid increases the value of your Patronage and any other donations you make to our charity by 25% because BLGC can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift – at no extra cost to you

Is Patronage just for Businesses?

Not at all. We welcome both individuals and organisations as Patrons. Whether you’re representing a company or acting in a personal capacity, your support has an equal impact.

Will I have to commit my time?

Not unless you’d like to. We understand everyone’s busy, so there are no obligations beyond your chosen level of support. However, many Patrons enjoy attending events as a way to see the impact of their support firsthand and connect with other like-minded supporters

How will my Patronage help?

Every pound of support goes directly into programmes that give local young people safe spaces, opportunities, mentoring, and life-changing experiences. Your contribution helps us reach more children and young people who need us most.

Can I pay in Installments

Absolutely. Please chat with our team about a plan that works for you.

We know times are tought – so If you’re not in a position to become a Patron you can also volunteer your time, join one of our events, or consider regular giving as another way to support.
