Why donate?

For over 40 years, our charity has been a vital resource in our community, providing essential support to families and professionals who seek our help every week. Your contribution can make a significant difference, enabling individuals to continue living independently with the assistance of our dedicated volunteers.

Our annual expenditure is approximately £30,000, reflecting our commitment to offering exceptional value for money. Your donation is crucial in bringing together volunteers and clients, ensuring that everyone who reaches out to us can receive the help they need. To recruit and insure a volunteer costs around £20, our volunteers carry out around 4000 hours of volunteering a year which averages out about £7.50 per hour.

We rely on donations to support our volunteers, providing them with necessary training and covering any expenses they incur while assisting our clients.

Donations from those we support, and their families are especially needed. Regular donations are particularly beneficial, as they allow us to apply for Gift Aid, adding an extra 20% to each donation.
