We need your donations!

Your financial support can have very real effects on the level of service we can provide. We rely on grants, donations and fundraising to keep our services free for those who need them. Over the next 2 years, we are aiming to fundraise £25,000 to cover a shortfall in funding of our core costs.

Any amount you can give is helpful and extremely appreciated – even £5 a month will help us greatly. If you can, we would deeply appreciate recurring donations. They are really helpful for us, as they provide continuous funding without us having to keep asking for it.
