Raising money for Amma's visit

"Serving the world with love and cooperation, you will find your own true Self. As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away, and without even noticing you will find your own fulfilment." - Amma

Sponsor much-needed supplies for the Programme

We would again like to encourage devotees to cover the cost of some of the major items that are needed for Amma's visit. This was very successful last year and most of the major items of expenditure were sponsored by individuals. If you would like to sponsor the whole or part of some of the major fixed costs we face, please contact Shanker shanker@amma.org.uk 0207 603 6868 (6-9pm) for details.

The items include: Stage £5000; Carpets £1500; Decorations £1000; Flowers & Fruits £2000; Water & Electricity £1000; Chairs, tables, partitions £5000.

Heartfelt donations towards Amma's visit costs

It is now less than three weeks month until the London programme, and we are still very short of the funds required to cover the costs of hosting our beloved Amma. It is Amma’s wish that the funds to cover the costs of hiring the venue etc., to enable so many people to benefit from being in her physical presence, are met by the hosting country, so that all money raised during her visit can go straight to her numerous charities.

If you would like to participate in the initiative to make regular donations towards visit costs, please use the forms on our website for a Standing Order Mandate, to send to your bank, and a Gift Aid Declaration which will enable us to claim the tax back on your donation. You may also set up the standing order directly through online banking, though it is still important to send the Gift Aid Declaration to the Treasurer.

(If your employer or company/personal pension provider runs a Payroll Giving Scheme, you can authorise them to make the donation from your wages or pension before deducting any tax. Please talk to your employer about setting up payments to Friends of Amma.)  If you have any queries, please send an email to Yamunah vakeesyam@fastmail.fm
