Fund-raising
Our charity receives no government or lottery support and we are entirely dependent on our own efforts to meet the ever-increasing cost of our work. One of our main sources of income is through a very active programme of fund-raising events.
Our hard-working team of fund-raisers are dedicated and enthusiastic but they need help.....the more help we have, the more we can do.
HERE ARE THE TOP TEN IDEAS FOR HOW YOU COULD HELP :
1. Help at one of our monthly Open Days, or in preparing for it.
2. Help at one of our many other fund-raising events throughout the year.
3. Bake cakes for sale at our popular cake stalls or for serving to visitors on Open Days.
4. Visit one of our events or an Open Day and buy some of the many things we have for sale, including gifts, cards, Christmas cards and our own exclusive calendar.
5. Do you know a shop or other establishment where a collecting tin could be safely placed for us?
6. Put up posters in your local area to publicise our events.
7. Some people organise their own events and donate the takings to us. Should you wish to do this, please let us know in advance and we can put up a poster at The Ark and provide some publicity material. Over the years, examples of such events have included :-
If you can think of something even more novel, we would be delighted to hear from you.
8. Are you a member of a club or group who might be willing to raise funds for us? (e.g. slimming club, line dancing group, guides, brownies, school).
9. Donate items as prizes for one of our tombolas or raffles.
10. Donate modern books and good bric-a-brac that we can sell. (Please note that we cannot accept electrical goods or clothes).
If you can help us in any way with our vital fund-raising activities, please call Wanda on 01335 300825 or 01335 390280 (home).
Remember..THE MORE HELP WE HAVE, THE MORE WE CAN DO.
Thank you.
