Fundraising
Fundraising
Springboard receives some funding from North Somerset Council, NHS North Somerset, the Big Lottery Fund, BBC Children in Need and a range of local and national charitable trusts, Friends of Springboard and an increasing number of individual donors.
Providing specialist support, often on a one-to-one basis, is costly. We need to raise over £1000 a day to maintain our services. There are many ways in which you can help us to give young children with additional needs the best possible start in life.
Donations
You can help by giving a regular monthly gift or a one-off donation. Some examples of how we may use your donation are shown below. Donations can be made online below or by downloading a donations form.
Here are a few examples of the uses we may make of your donation:
£10 would buy a ‘Talk Back’ postcard, to help stimulate a child’s speech and imagination.
£25 would buy a ‘Move n Sit’ seating wedge, to help promote a child’s active sitting and give them much needed comfort and support.
£50 would pay for the upkeep of our minibus for one week, enabling children to explore the wider world.
£100 would buy a ‘Twinkle Dome’, to capture the interest and imagination of children with a sensory impairment and giving them an instant visual auditory reward.
or
£100 would pay for a member of staff to be trained in PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to help the development of children with language disorders.
£500 would enable us to provide an assistant to provide individual support for a child with additional needs, for 3 hours a week for 13 weeks.
£1,000 would enable a child with additional needs to join in with other children at his/her local pre-school for 3 hours a week for 26 weeks.
Company support
We welcome donations and in-kind support from companies. If you work for a company that might be able to support Springboard, please ask them! Or you could consider encouraging company staff to adopt Springboard as their Charity of the Year. We are happy to send further information and/or a speaker to your company.
