Become a Friend of the Foundation
The reality…
By the age of 15 almost half of young people will already have faced a decision about illegal drugs, and around one in four will have said yes at least once. (NHS Digital, 2024)
Not all young people who take drugs will come to harm, but some of them will, and for some it will be the worst harm imaginable, like it was for Dan.
No young person should lose their life to drugs; your monthly donation will help to prevent this from happening.
Your £10 a month will:
- Educate and equip young people to safely navigate choices about drugs and alcohol
- Support parents and carers to have confident, informed conversations with their children
- Keep young people safe by preventing harm before it happens
- Help the DSM Foundation deliver life-saving drug education in schools across the UK
Make a difference, become a Friend of the Foundation today.
- £10 a month
- A conversation that could save a life
- A future free from harm

One-off donations
- One-off donations are always greatly appreciated and contribute to helping us to deliver our drug education programme. There are several donation methods – and please remember to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK tax payer, which get us 25% more! Please see above for how to donate.
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.]
