Get involved

There are a number of ways you can support us:

FUNDRAISING

Fundraising is a brilliant way to bring people together for a good cause and have fun into the bargain!

EVENTS are a great way of raising funds and also awareness of a charity. These can be sponsored events such as fun runs, cycle rides, sponsored swims. Coffee mornings and afternoon teas are also very popular.

The list is endless, only limited by your imagination!

MAKE A DONATION

There are several ways to make a donation:

  • By giving direct – Use our Donate button on the HOME page.
  • by giving through your pay packet
  • Leave a legacy in your will
  • Put money in a collecting box

Signing up for GIFT AID increases the value of your donation by allowing charities to reclaim tax on the gift.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are vital to the success of our organisation and we are always looking for volunteers to help support our work.

Our volunteers will receive an in-depth induction, training appropriate to their role and ongoing support and development to ensure their volunteering is a positive experience.
