How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Write your cheque and a short note

    Make the cheque payable to Save the Children. If Save the Children sent you a donation form or reply slip, fill it in; otherwise include a note with your name, return address, and how you'd like the gift used (general, or a specific fund or tribute).

  2. 2

    Address the envelope

    First line: Save the Children. Then, exactly as shown: 1 St John's Lane, London EC1M 4AR. Copy it exactly — a wrong postal code can delay your gift and your receipt.

  3. 3

    Add your return address for the receipt

    If you're a UK taxpayer, add a Gift Aid declaration (tick the box on the donation form) so the charity can reclaim 25p for every £1 you give, at no extra cost to you.

  4. 4

    Mail a letter to Save the Children without a post-office trip

    Posting a physical cheque? Send it yourself so the payment reaches Save the Children. For a covering note, a memorial dedication, or any letter to the charity, write or upload it to PostPal — we print it, add your return address, and mail it for you, no printer or stamps needed.
