Small charities are finding it increasingly difficult to raise funds for the vital work that they do as they are always in competition with the large well-known charities, ever changing technology and decreased local government funding. Thanks to our 99 years of experience we can offer them a unique, risk free way to do just that.
I am delighted that we currently support over 300 charities and community groups. Last year they raised over £103,000 as a direct contribution to their services for those in need in their own communities. Our ongoing strategy is to increase this number and add even more value to the help that we give them as well as increase technology and funds via their own microsites.
My vision for the future is to achieve annuity income to cover our current operating costs so that our established Special Appeal Fund/Foundation can benefit one hundred percent from all our in-house fundraising. Our organisation is extremely streamlined with one small office in Farnham, Surrey, for 4 part-time staff and 16 volunteers. By supporting us, you are helping thousands of vulnerable and disadvantaged people in this country. Help us to help them.
Anthony, Lord St John of Bletso
