COVID-19 - UPDATE                                    

Following some of the most challenging months we have ever faced, our staff are gradually returning to work. We are pleased that some of our family support projects are back up and running, but we still have a long way to go until we can be running at full strength once again.

Without YOUR help, we could never have made it through the first stages of this pandemic, and we cannot THANK YOU enough!  Now, as the furlough scheme comes to an end, we hope that you will continue to support us through the next stages of the pandemic and the new challenges that lay ahead. 

Please continue sharing, fundraising and donating to help us through this tough time. You can support us by arranging your own fundraising activity, taking on a virtual challenge, making a one-off or monthly donation, sharing our social media posts and looking at the activities on the 'Get Involved' page.

Ways to support us during the pandemic...

Donate
The quickest and simplest way to support us is to make a donation:
- Send a cheque
- Make a bank transfer
- Make a PayPal payment
- Donate via JustGiving
- Text COVID and your donation amount to 70470
e.g. 'COVID 20' to donate £20

Whether you want to get muddy with your mates or get fit after lockdown, Flex Tickets, mean that you can sign up, even if you’re not ready to pick a date yet. It's the perfect way to crush any excuse, and you can start raising sponsors right away! Get your Flex Ticket here, and then let us know!
Leave a Legacy
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, there has been an increase in legacy giving, but did you know that only 6% of people leave a gift to charity in their will? It's very simple to arrange, and if you already have a will you do not need to re-write to add a gift to a charity. Click here for more.
