How to help

St Andrew's is extremely grateful for every kind of support, and there are many ways in which you can help:

  • £500 – Funds one member’s journey through the Club
  • £50 - Funds a new set of pool balls and cues

 

 

General Support

Sports and educational activities are the outward and visible signs of good youth work. Equally important is funding that quite simply ensures that the club can "be there" for members - opening every day; lighting and heating the premises; making the club safe, welcoming and rewarding by paying good staff.

 

What kind of supporter would you like to be?

St Andrew's has several specific categories:

 

Be a St Andrew's Friend

- £25, (£100 corporate)

Be a St Andrew's Patron

- £100, (£500 corporate)

Be a St Andrew's Angel

- £500, (£5,000 corporate)

Be a St Andrew's Herald

  • Give information about St Andrew's to those whom you think would be interested to know about its work and activities.
  • Mention the club and its achievements whenever "the youth of today" comes up in conversation with friends or colleagues !

 

And finally ...

Being the world's oldest youth club gives St Andrew's no inherent right to survive.

But, with 140 years' experience, the club knows a thing or two about how to survive and to sustain The Andrew's Effect.

In no time at all, today's youngsters will be adults framing the world in their own image. By supporting St Andrew's you will be making an important contribution to making that world a little better.
