After a few weeks, eBay’s partner PayPal Giving Fund will collect your donation via your automatic payment method, or you will receive an invoice to pay your donations. We will then receive your donation. As a bonus, eBay will also discount your Final Value Fees equal to the percentage you donated.
Please visit our eBay page for more details.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving also referred to as Give As You Earn, offers a simple, hassle-free, and tax-efficient method for making regular donations - enabling you to give more while spending less.
Check with your employer to determine if they offer Payroll Giving. If they do, they will handle the process of deducting your donation from your salary.
If your employer does not currently offer Payroll Giving, you can encourage them to set this up. Contact us for more information.

Festival Volunteering
You can gain free entry to some of the UK’s leading music festivals by volunteering your time via My Cause UK. Even better, you can raise money for Encephalitis International whilst doing so!
My Cause UK will donate to your chosen charity as thanks for your volunteering hours and energy. Our supporter, Martha, volunteered at Boomtown UK and chose us:
“My auntie was diagnosed with encephalitis…The illness was life changing for her…
I decided to donate the money to your charity because it was a small thing I could do to fund research to prevent more cases, or help others struggling with the same disease.
I intend to volunteer through My Cause UK again in the future as the whole experience was easy to navigate, everyone I met was so friendly and it made raising money for amazing causes feel even more amazing!”
