Fundraising - Support us
Donations
One of the simplest ways you can help is by clicking on the secure link below and making a donation. Every donation no matter how big or small helps us make a difference and will be used wisely to ensure maximum benefit for our service users and their families.
Fundraising events
Have you got a great fundraising idea you’d like to share with us or could you hold a fundraising event on our behalf? Perhaps you know work colleagues, friends or family who might like to get involved or have fundraised before? We are always looking for new ideas and fun ways to raise much needed funds and would love to hear from you!
In memory donations
We are privileged to care for individuals with life limiting illness who spend their final days with us. You can make a charitable donation as a special way of remembering a loved one, knowing that your contribution will be used to provide specialist end of life care and support for others in need. If you would like to discuss an In Memory donation please contact Carol Cliffe on 0191 549 6500.
Corporate support
Corporate partnerships can bring mutual benefits to both companies and charities. Your business or organisation could support our work by :
- Helping us to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace
- Encouraging employees to volunteer their time to help with activities and projects
- Tax efficient donations
- Sharing best practice in Corporate Social Responsibility
- Providing access to useful networks
- Donating gifts-in kind such as professional expertise, equipment and resources
In return we can support your company in several ways such as raising its profile in your customers’ communities, introduce you to new useful networks and offer mental health awareness training to your organisation.
Many companies are enjoying the benefits of corporate giving that include enhanced reputation in the community, improved staff and customer loyalty, competitive advantage and development opportunities for staff.
