Support Us
Everything Carlisle Branch does is paid for with funds we have raised ourselves. We are grateful to :
- local people who give to our collections in shops or town
- members who make private donations
- local organisations who raise money on our behalf.
If you would like to support Carlisle Branch and have a new idea for fundraising, please let us know.
Don’t try these at home
Or not all of them. Fundraising is “Any event that is held to raise funds, e.g. street collections, raffles, sponsored walks/runs/sky-dives, exhibitions, games, fireworks displays, auctions of goods, concerts, quiz nights, tea afternoons, cake sales, jumble sales, fêtes, fairs” – Parkinson’s UK offers some exciting opportunities.
Fundraising for your local Branch can happen at home, with friends, in your street, or at work. You can use even a small opportunity, such as a coffee morning or car boot sale, as a way to help us.
More adventurous people might make it a personal challenge – maybe a sponsored abseil – or put on an event – a tournament? Do make sure you stay within safe and legal limits.
Carlisle Branch will be grateful for any support. Sponsor forms, advice leaflets, collection boxes (large and small) and some themed stationery are available from the Branch. If you use an online service such as Just Giving for a sponsored event, please make sure you tell them and us well in advance that you want your donation to come to Carlisle Branch.
Any Committee member will be happy to discuss fundraising ideas with you, or you can contact Simon White, Treasurer: email parkinsonsukcarlisle@btinternet.com, phone 01228 527707.
