DONATIONS

There are three different donations which SYG require – subscriptions, summer programme and one off uniform. By treating these payments as donations rather than fees, the group, as a registered charity, is able to claim gift aid on the amount paid which helps the group enormously.

If you require financial assistance in order for your child to attend SYG and you live in Sawston, please contact Huntingdon’s Charity who may be able to offer you assistance. You can also speak to Rev Alan Partridge as the church does have a hardship fund that may be able to help. Please don’t let money be a barrier. If you need help meeting any of our fees please let us know by emailing contact@syg.org.uk  

1.Uniform Donation (new members only)

This is a one-off donation for any new members to SYG to help cover the cost of providing the SYG uniform of £25.This donation is only required when you first join, and is due by Monday 28th September.

In order to assist families with more than one child in SYG, we have a “sliding scale” for donations as shown in the matrix below.

 
Summer Programme Subscription

The summer programme is when we change gear completely and undertake a number of different “fun” activities, e.g. canoeing, wide games, punting, etc, which we need to charge for separately; the cost is determined by the activities we undertake. The summer programme fee for 2016 will be £30 per member.  

Direct Bank Payments 

We encourage parents (where possible) to make the subscription donation directly into the SYG bank account rather than cheques/cash.
