Fundraising - why we need you to keep going
Counselling and Befriending are totally dependent on fundraising. We have a waiting list of carers seeking advice, help and emotional support. Counselling is available to carers in crisis and offers qualified help for free to distressed carers.
You can make a huge difference to people struggling to cope with the effects of caring for disabled or ill loved-ones. 'I had no help or anyone to talk to or turn to. I was at my wit's end. It was the lowest point of my life until I contacted CLASP.'
We need:
£20,000 per year to run Befriending
£25,000 per year to run Counselling
£5,000 per year to offer respite days for carers
£1,000 per year to keep our Open Days running
£500 to organise a free Carers Therapy day in Carers Week
How you can help:
- Become a volunteer fundraiser. We need help to run events so please come and join in - it's fun.
- Organise an event with your friends or family. It could simply be a meal or a party where you ask for donations.
- Why not ask friends to sponsor you to achieve a lifetime's ambition such as completing a marathon, skydiving or abseiling?
-
Leave a gift in your will. Legacies make huge difference to charities. Please ask your solicitor to include a legacy or donation to CLASP in your will or talk to Greg Drozdz about how to leave a lasting gift.
-
