Fundraising
It costs us an average of £200 to support one child for one year and £100 to train and support one volunteer for a year. Each booklet we produce costs £3, school resource packs cost £100 each, so no matter the amount you give it really can make a difference!
We receive no government funding and rely completely on individual fundraising, corporate relationships and donations.
