My circumstances have changed, do you have alternative gift options so I can continue supporting Sustrans?

Yes, we can offer both a reduced monthly gift to suit your current circumstances, or a donation holiday where we can pause donations for up to six months. Contact our friendly Supporter Care Team if either of these options is something you'd like to discuss.

How do my donations get used?

Your donations are incredibly important to our work. Unless otherwise stated as part of the relevant campaign, all our donations are treated as unrestricted funds and get used wherever the need is greatest within our charitable objectives.

Can I get a refund on my donation?

Under our Refund Policy donations can not be refunded, unless in exceptional circumstances. If you need to query a donation, please contact our friendly Supporter Care Team to discuss.
