Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: IndependentAge will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

For overseas people in the Netherlands who are facing difficulties making a donation through the internet and are still eager to support this good cause, you can use my Dutch bank account (6272425 t.n.v. A.F.G. Koehof). I’ll be more than happy to transfer the funds to the charity on your behalf.

Many thanks for your support.
