Fundraising

You can help us!

Sadly, we do not get any statutory funding and getting money in for a small specialist charity is hard particularly when competing with the big national organisations who dedicate whole teams to raising the dosh. We do however spend very carefully and we deliver way above what is expected for our income levels.  The vast majority of what  we spend to support people affected by aphasia comes from member donations and contributions, charitable project grants and some from selling our expertise e.g. for supporting research involvement.

We never want lack of money to get in the way of people’s recovery. We suggest a donation of £7.50 per person per meeting or £12 per couple if you feel you can afford it, and £5 for online support. This works out less than £200 per year, which might be an easier way to pay . We take online donations through JustGiving or direct to our bank – bank details can be provided on request. We accept payment by card (preferred) but also accept cheques or cash – any amount is welcome!

We have lots of ideas about how else you could help us financially including some that don’t cost you a penny.
