Fundraising

We are a volunteer run charity who do not receive any government grants or funding. One of our biggest expenses is our Energy Bills and other utilities.  We rely on donations and our fundraising  events to help keep the community centre running, and to be able to offer affordable events and activities for our local community.

Small Change Fundraising Appeal

Do you have a jar of old coppers or other small change hidden at the back of a cupboard? We would love to take it off your hands!

Make a Big Difference with Small Change

Your small change can make a big impact on our community centre. Every penny counts, and your contribution will help us continue to provide essential services, activities, and support to individuals and families in our community.

Boost Your Donation with Gift Aid

Thanks to the Small Claims Gift Aid Scheme, we are able to claim an additional 25% on top of all donations. This means that your generous gift can go even further in making a positive difference. For example, if you donate £10 in small change, we can claim an extra £2.50, turning it into £12.50! 

How to Donate

Donating your small change is simple and easy. Just gather your coins and bring them to the community centre during our operating hours, or contact us to arrange a pick-up. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our community centre. Together, we can create a brighter future for everyone!

Sponsored Tots Walk

Watch this space for details to come on our Sponsored Tots Walk.

Initial ideas are for this to take place at Roundhay Park when the weather starts to get a bit nicer, either on a Wednesday during our normal playgroup session, or on a weekend when other family members can attend too, followed by a picnic lunch.
