How can you check a donation?
Start with the programme or appeal description to understand the intended use of your gift. Then read where your money goes and the current reporting status. Planning estimates are not completed outcomes; we publish financial and delivery figures only when their evidence and reporting period are approved.
Which donor resources can help you?
These guides cover causes, giving choices and the checks that help you assess an appeal.

What does a £200 eye surgery example mean?
Around £200 is a planning estimate used on this site, not a guaranteed price or an audited cost per operation. The final amount depends on the hospital quote, the patient’s clinical needs and what is included. Smaller gifts contribute towards the programme; estimates are not reported as completed treatment.
Verified programme totals and delivery reports are not yet published here. An unavailable total does not mean zero activity. We separate money received, payments to partners and completed care or relief, and publish figures only with an approved reporting period and supporting evidence.
Gift Aid becomes claimable only once the required charity registration is granted and eligibility conditions are met. The current status is explained on our Gift Aid page.
The donation form lets you select a programme or appeal. If you need a restriction beyond the published description, contact us before donating to agree its terms.
