Become a Friend of the Foundation
Young people today inhabit a world in which their exposure to drugs and alcohol is widespread. It’s vital that every young person knows how to handle decisions about drugs safely when they come around for them. Effective, evidence-based drug education remains essential. But we can’t do this alone…
Your regular donations enable us to spread our life saving message, equipping young people with the skills, resilience and knowledge to make safer choices, so that no other young person needs to lose their life to drugs.
What your regular donation will enable us to do:
- £10/month would enable us to fund an interactive drug education workshop to a whole year group of up to 200 students, with resources for students to take home
- £25/month would enable us to reach parents and carers through an online drug and alcohol awareness workshop
- £80/month would fully fund a live Theatre in Education performance of our powerful play and workshop to 200 young people.
Your support means that we can continue reaching young people and their families with our drug education and life-saving message. Become a Friend of the Foundation today, and help young people to make safer choices about drugs.

Fundraising activities
- There are lots of ways that you can raise both awareness and funds for the Foundation – from sponsored challenge events to holding a cake sale – and everything in between! See our fundraising page for further ideas.
Payroll giving
- If you’re an employee, payroll giving allows your donation to come out of your gross pay meaning the tax you would have paid on your donation comes to us.
- Through payroll giving, a £10 donation to us only costs you: £8 if you pay basic tax (20%); £6 if you pay higher rate tax (40%); or £5.50 if you pay the 45% rate.
- Contact your Payroll department to set up a payroll gift. If your employer doesn’t have a scheme set up but they want to know more, they can contact a Payroll Giving Agency approved by HMRC to set up a scheme – see https://www.gov.uk/payroll-giving for further information.
Gifts in your will / legacy giving
- Leaving a gift to the DSM Foundation in your will creates a lasting legacy of impact on young people, enabling them to benefit from the opportunity to develop the understanding and skills they need to make safer choices about drugs. [Please note that DSMF cannot offer legal advice, but further information about wills is available from the Citizens Advice Bureau.]
