LMC Donations

name
Your donations ensure that we can continue to help GPs (and their dependent family) who need our vital support

Local Medical Committees, which have non-statutory funds support us very generously. We receive regular annual donations and generous responses each year to our Christmas Appeal. Some LMCs operate a Charity Levy for our benefit.

If your LMC would like to provide a regular donation, complete the standing order form and send to info@cameronfund.org.uk

We are very grateful for the regular donations that we already receive from LMCs, but the operation of a Charity Levy for the Cameron Fund, would be of greater assistance.

What is a Charity Levy?

  • LMCs invite GP partnerships to agree to a levy on the number of registered patients, e.g. 3p per patient.
  • Those partnerships who decide to participate sign a mandate authorising the Payments Organisation to deduct the levy from payments to the practices and forward the total levy to the LMC.
  • The LMC sends all money collected to the Cameron Fund.

The Benefits

  • The levy is practice-based and continues until revoked or the partnership dissolves.
  • It is deducted as an expense before tax is applied.
  • Therefore if a GP has 1,800 patients, a levy of 3p per patient produces £54 gross for the Cameron Fund but at a personal cost of £36 to the GP.
  • The greater the number of GPs and the greater the number of participating practices, the larger the donation to the Cameron Fund.
