Funding our future

Sustain, the charity that runs the Real Bread Campaign, has held back from increasing supporter rates for over a decade. Sadly, we can’t hold out any longer. 

The change is necessary to help keep pace with the ever-increasing costs of running your Real Bread Campaign.

What do you need to do?

Nothing, really.

• If you set up automatic annual payments, the next one will be at the new rate. Please see the message we sent on 31 August to the email address in your PayPal account.
• If you pay by card a year at a time, you can simply choose your preferred level when you renew your support.

You can check your current level of support, and when your next payment is due, by logging into your record in our system.

New rates

The revised rates start at £24.30 a year. The slight increases range from the equivalent of just 15p a month (a sniff over £2 a year) at the lowest level to no more than 92p a month at the highest.

Please help us to do more

We don’t just want to keep going as we are, though: we want to do more and do it better!

Ways that you might be able to help us do so include:

• Moving to a higher supporter level (or joining us, if you're not currently a supporter)
• Making a general doughnation.
• Contributing to our Untold Stories Fund.
• Buying a gift subscription for someone.
• Signing up to The Real Bread Loaf Mark scheme.

You can read about these and more ways to get involved in our work here.

Changing or cancelling a subscription

If you set up recurring payments (rather than paying by card each year) you can change or cancel your payments by logging into your PayPal account.

The Loaf Mark

The supporter rate change does not affect the fee for the scheme.
