Fundraising
Desi Radio & the Panjabi Centre is responsible for raising funding from various sources both public and private. The competition for funding is fierce, particularly in the current economic climate. We welcome any initiaitives from our friends in raising funds on our behalf. If you enjoy or have benefitted from the service we provide, or regularly tune into Desi Radio why not help us to raise more funds?
Additional funding will allow us to do more for our community. Below are two methods where you can help us.
Donating through PayPal
We have reviewed several web based fundraising methods by various groups serving the charitable sector. Many of them have high monthly service fees and also take a percentage of funds donated. For this reason we have chosen to open an account with PayPal and use this as the primary method of raising funds through our website.
You can send your donation securely using PayPal either by using your credit or debit card (you do not need a PayPal account), or if you have your own PayPal account then you can transfer donations to our account.
Follow this link to learn about PayPal.

“Shop online and raise money for Desi Radio. So easy, so why not?”
Did you know that over 85% of UK households are connected to the internet? As with previous years more and more people will be shopping on line, which often saves money and adds convenience. Did you know that you can help to raise funds for Desi Radio through your internet purchases and it will not cost you a penny?
We have an account with EasyFundRaising.org.uk who act as an agent to over 2000 online retail companies including Tesco, Amazon and many high street names. If you do your Christmas shopping online through EasyFundRaising.org.uk you can help make a Big Difference for Desi Radio.
