A message from Keith Colman trustee and founder of The Dove Trust Welcome to a special service for charities, good causes and their supporters. Working in my accountancy practice, back in 1983, I realised that there were many people wanting to give to charity, and organise this simply but as tax effectively as possible. So the dove trust was formed with two original trustees (who still serve the trust today) and to date several millions has been given to charities and good causes through the dove trust. Trustees reports.

Development

“Some of the work has changed vastly with the inclusion of the internet and the training services that we provide but we also adhere to our mission statement to provide a one stop service for all your giving remembering everyone as an individuals and helping them to give tax efficiently to as many charities and good causes as possible.”

Most welcome the personal service that we offer in a day when recorded messages have replaced the one to one service. We always aim to meet individuals needs, whether it's a one off donation, regular gift, envelope collection, online gift, share giving, property giving, fundraising, charity event, advice or training.

As well as administering giving for other charities and good causes, we also run our own charities, which have been set up and managed by us.

We also manage www.gaps.uk.com for families and carers of children with leukaemia and cancer, as well as Voice for Change and have truly established our expertise in many charity projects.

Moving with the times and the advancement of the Internet, charitygiving.co.uk (operated through the dove trust) was set up in 1999 still offering that personal service but have added:

• Information services with an online presence.
  
• An online giving facility securely managed through SecPay to give tax efficiently to charities and good causes.
  
• Charity database
  
• Group Giving

Today we are expanding the services we offer to include:

:the park, a new training centre based at the head office of charitygiving.

Opened in April 2004 it provides the perfect venue for different events either hosted by ourselves or as a venue for hire.

We already have expertise in tax efficient giving to charities and good causes, whether its by money, shares, property, gifts, event support, fundraising, sponsorship, and appeals.

We can now offer training in these areas as well as providing training for leaders, trustees and charity managers covering many topics, from finance for treasurers and accountants, to leadership skills and fundraising workshops, risk assessments and employment matters, to I.T., computing skills, and setting up new systems!

:the park training centre is based in Bawdeswell just outside of Norwich , England .

We have a changing diary of events.

We are also offering charities web site space, within our site to promote their cause and benefit from the many donations received from the general public.

With more projects to launch over the next 12 months, we will keep you informed of their progress as they happen and the benefit that these projects will have for you.

We feel we have the knowledge and expertise to help you. So call us with any query you have.
