Collecting and paying your fundraising funds

You are welcome to collect sponsorship in any way that works best for you, including through online fundraising platforms or personal donations. We have a couple of options for you to collect sponsorship money:

If you do collect any funds directly, please ensure they are paid to the bpf within six weeks of completing your fundraising activity.

All donations must be made payable to British Psychotherapy Foundation in pounds sterling (£). To make a bank transfer, please ensure your payment reference includes your full name, this helps us identify your donation on our statement records.

Please do not post cash. If you’ve collected cash, either deposit it into your own bank account and make a bank transfer to the bpf or take it directly to a bank and pay the bpf using the bank details we provide to you on request.

To request our bank details, please email the team at:

Thank you so much for your support!

Ways to support the bpf

Make a one-off donation

A gift, no matter how small, can help us to continue growing the number of skilled psychotherapists that reflect the communities in which they live and serve.

Create an online tribute page

A MuchLoved tribute page is free to create and a place to remember that special person.

Organise a funeral collection

Some families choose to ask for a donation to be made to the bpf instead of buying flowers for a funeral. This is a simple and effective way of supporting a charity that was important to your loved one.

Take on a challenge event

Support the bpf by taking part in one of our exciting challenge events, delivered by our trusted charity partner organisations both in the UK and internationally.

Leave a gift in your Will

By leaving a gift in your Will, you’ll help us to continue training skilled psychotherapists that reflect the communities in which they live and serve.
