Volunteers
The Foundation is run by a small team of mainly part-time staff supported by a wonderful group of volunteers. Some of our volunteers work weekly, others fortnightly or monthly, establishing friendships and benefiting from the shared enjoyment of helping others.
Opportunities exist for volunteers in the following areas:
Assisting the catering staff
* Befriending our visitors
* Gardening
* Light maintenance
* Helping at fundraising events
* Buggy driving
* As a friend of the Foundation, promoting the work of the Foundation in your locality.
Become a friend of the Foundation
Promote the work of the Foundation and help to raise much needed funds.
There are many other ways in which you can help the Foundation:
Donations (Gift Aid)*
Voluntary donations, whether one off or regular monthly are an essential part of ensuring that the Foundation is able to maintain and enhance the services on offer to its visitors.
* As a charity, we can reclaim tax on your donation at no cost to yourself if you are a taxpayer, through the Government Gift Aid scheme.
Sponsorship and support
The Foundation is always looking to forge closer links with businesses who wish to sponsor events, support development projects with either monetary or practical assistance and work together by making the Foundation their Charity of the Year. These links not only raise much needed funds for the Foundation but also create mutually beneficial publicity, provide staff volunteering opportunities and develop strong teams and long term relationships.
Legacies & Bequests
Please consider making the Foundation a beneficiary of your will. Under current legislation, legacies (and gifts within one year of death) are free of capital transfer tax.
Contact us for more information and if you would like someone to come and talk to your group about the history and ongoing work of the Foundation please do not hesitate to ask.
