Sarah’s Story

The Marylebone Project has over 90 years’ experience of supporting vulnerable homeless women in crisis, tirelessly striving to turn individual lives around by offering a seamless journey from often rock-bottom on the streets to living happy, fulfilling, independent lives.

Unemployed and suffering from depression, Sarah was at crisis point. With nowhere to go she ended up sleeping on the streets. “I was scared all the time – what woman wouldn’t be? Men would sometimes shout out to me and make comments that made me feel intimidated. I would put on my fiercest face, but inside, I would be trembling with fear.”

“I would put on my fiercest face, but inside, I would be trembling with fear.”

Trapped in a living nightmare, Sarah’s sense of loneliness and despair intensified each night.

Eventually, Sarah heard about The Marylebone Project – a residential and drop-in facility for homeless women in London. She recalls, “As soon as I stepped through the doors, I felt that things were different. They welcomed me with open arms.”

You wouldn’t recognise Sarah today from the broken, terrified woman who felt she had no voice or value in life. With the help of the Project, Sarah is gaining independence while developing work skills allowing her to pursue her dream of owning a business. She’s also gained practical work experience while volunteering with Munch kitchen, the Marylebone Project’s social enterprise. She beams, “I feel like a brand new person now, strong and self-confident. There’s no stopping me now!”

A gift of just £47 can provide one night in an emergency bed
and essential toiletries for a vulnerable woman facing crisis.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows The Marylebone Project to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to The Marylebone Project we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the “Yes” box, I agree I would like The Marylebone Project to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that The Marylebone Project will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When The Marylebone Project receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we’re entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
