The Burrough Harmony Centre
Peer support for people living with mental health problems in West Dorset. |
The Burrough Harmony Centre is a registered charity number 1170086.
Although we receive funding for the Community Front Room, we rely on grants and donations to run the Harmony sessions and for all the extras that make Harmony special. |
- Make a Donation
If you would like to make a Donation in Memory of someone special you can contact the treasurer.
Because your donation is taken from your pre-tax salary, part of your donation comes from money that would otherwise go to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
How much is my donation worth? For standard-rate taxpayers, if you donate £10 to the Harmony centre it will only cost you £8.
And if you're a higher-rate taxpayer, Payroll Giving is the most tax-efficient way to give - a £10 donation will cost you just £6.
The amount you give is up to you - for example, a £5 donation will cost a standard-rate taxpayer £4, or a higher-rate taxpayer £3.
How do I sign up? Ask your employer for details on how to sign up. If your employer doesn't currently run a Payroll Giving scheme, they can find out how to set one up at gov.uk/payroll-giving.
When you leave a gift to us in your Will, we promise:

Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of the service we deliver. They are ordinary people who give up some of their time to help people struggling with their mental health.
Sometimes people need a friendly person to talk to. Sometimes volunteers use their talents to help run activities and make a life changing difference. See Anna’s story.

“I started volunteering with Harmony when I was coming up to retirement. I became a volunteer because I wanted to be helpful and of service to the community. I found that a visitor couldn’t tell who was a member of staff or volunteer and who was using the service for support. There's no ‘Them & Us’. People feel comfortable, and able to talk with each other - and not always about their problems. At first, I didn’t think I had any talents or skills to offer, but now I run a meditation group and bring music and dance into the group! What makes Harmony special is the friendliness and being able to communicate what is happening in our lives. There are never bad feelings and always a good atmosphere. Harmony enabled me to do something for someone else.” - Anna
