We don’t get a grant from the council. We don’t have any reserves. We rely upon our generous business sponsors to help us, and the applications we make to charitable trusts. And, of course, the donations we receive from lovely members of the public.
The Big Summer Outing and the Christmas Toy Appeal always come first. We aim to spend around £2,000 running the Toy Appeal each year plus a variable amount on toys. In 2022 we spent around £11,000 on toys using funding that was provided and money that was donated on our GoFundMe.
We also spend up to £16,000 on outings in a normal year.
There are a number of ways that you can help us make ends meet:
