How can I help The Carers Centre? If you have received support from The Carers Centre over the last few years, then perhaps you would like to help us too - whether that be through practical help, or a donation - it can all help us to continue our high quality and invaluable services to carers in the future. How could I help financially? Although we get funding from Government sources our charity relies on the generous support from the public and charitable trusts to fund its work. Of every £1 we spend on our clients, 70p comes from Government sources and 30p has to be fundraised. Whether you are able to give a one off donation or give on a more regular basis, your contribution (large or small) will make a real difference to our work. Please support us in whichever way you can: Donation by Cheque - Please fill out the form on the reverse and enclose with your cheque. Remember that if you are a taxpayer, you can increase the size of your donation through Gift Aid. Online giving - If you would like to make a one-off donation then you can always make a secure donation online - just go to the ‘About Us’ page on our website. Standing Order - For more regular giving, consider setting up a standing order, which means you have control as to the timing and amount that you’d like to pledge to us. Again don’t forget the Gift Aid declaration! Leave a legacy - If you would like to leave something to The Carers Centre in your will and would like to find out how, contact us on for a copy of our Legacies leaflet. Consider us for a memorial fund - Instead of flowers, ask your guests to contribute to a memorial fund with ‘The Carers Centre for Brighton and Hove’ as the beneficiary. Fundraise for us - Perhaps you’re great at marathon running, busking, or are planning a car boot? Whatever it is, would you consider fundraising on our behalf? for brighton & hove What difference will my donation make ? £5 could pay for refreshments at one of our regular coffee mornings, giving carers the chance to meet others in similar situations and gain peer support. £10 could pay for a young carer’s activity materials for a fun playday organised during the school holidays. £20 could pay for 30 copies of our Carers News, to be sent to carers across the city, keeping them up-to-date on news, activities and groups that could benefit them. £60 could pay for counselling for a carer to help them deal with difficult changes in their relationships caused by their caring role. We need reliable volunteers to help us with mail-outs - and in particular the mammoth task of sending out 2000 copies of Carers News on a quarterly basis. It’s not all hard work - you get the chance to chat with other carers and we reward you with tea & biscuits! How could I help practically? If you think you could help out with any of these tasks give us a ring on
