Fundraising Impact
There's no minimum sponsorship requirement, but every pound you raise helps local people affected by cancer and life-threatening conditions access vital counselling and emotional support.
Here's what your fundraising could help us achieve:
£64 could provide a full counselling session for someone affected or bereaved by cancer or a life-threatening condition.
£18 helps keep WHY running, funding the essential management and administration that ensures everyone who reaches out to us receives support.
£12 contributes directly to our counsellors and service team, helping someone feel less overwhelmed and less alone.
£5 could cover the cost of a counselling room, providing a safe and private place for someone to talk.
A fundraising page will be automatically created for you, which you're welcome to use.
