Fundraise

We appreciate everything that our supporters do to raise money for us. They do all sorts of things such as run, walk, climb, jump, dance, bake and donate! Every penny makes a positive impact and we appreciate every effort.

If you would like to get involved and help us to raise money so that we can do more get in touch. We will provide you with a fundraising pack, branded t-shirts and advice on how to create a fundraising event or generate funds as part of something you are already doing.

We see the value in your contribution.

Sponsor or Donate

We appreciate those who see the value in what we do as sponsorship and donations help us do more.

Make a positive contribution in your community by helping us reach out and support people who have Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, learning difficulties and learning disabilities to realise their full potential.

We support our trainees and clients to get paid employment. We see people’s lives changed every day. With the right support people who face barriers to employment can skill up, get a paid job and stay in a job. This is what we do and our supporters money helps us to make this happen.

If you or your business are interested in supporting a charity that creates life changing experiences for people in your community talk to us today about sponsorship opportunities and donations.

There are lots of different ways to put your support forward. Here are some of the businesses that have provided monetary support in the past twelve months:
