Donations

The Paget’s Association does not receive any state or statutory funding and is reliant on voluntary donations and its own fundraising efforts.  Donations, no matter how small are always welcome and much appreciated.  For example you could use one of our Pennies for Paget’s boxes to collect your small change.  Please consider supporting the Association by making one off or regular donations.  These can be made in a variety of ways on-line, by cheque or by monthly standing order.  A form can be obtained by e-mailing the office on sue@paget.org.uk

Many of our members use special occasions to support the Association.  If you have a special birthday or anniversary, a wedding or party please consider making a donation to the Association in lieu of gifts.

Run for Paget’s

For those of you who have lots of energy consider taking part in a running event and raise sponsorship for the Association.  We have guaranteed places in the London Marathon each year which will give to people prepared to raise £650 in sponsorship for the Association.  Alternatively, you can secure your own place in any of the huge number of events throughout the country and raise any amount of sponsorship you feel comfortable with.  If you get in touch with the office and tell us about your event we can arrange to send you information to pass on to your sponsors, copies of sponsorship forms, training vests with the Association’s logo.  If you prefer you can set up a page on the Just Giving website and get your sponsors to make their donations on-line.

Recycling

For many years we have had a very successful relationship with Reclaim-IT who recycle both mobile phones and used computer ink cartridges on our behalf.  The scheme works very well as it saves both the empty cartridges and the mobile phones being put into landfill sites and polluting the ground with heavy metals which affect both plants and wildlife.  So if you have any unused mobile phones or empty cartridges contact the Association by e-mail or phone and we will send you some envelopes to send them direct to Reclaim-IT who will then forward a donation to the Association for every one they receive.

Organise your own event    

There are lots of ways in which you can help raise vital funds to help with the work of the Association and we will be happy to support you as much as possible.  Consider one of the following:

Sales

• Car boot sale – clear out your clutter and raise money for the Association – we both benefit.
• A book sale or exchange.
• Sell flowers or vegetables you have grown in your garden.
• Get together with friends and hold a homemade cake sale.
• Sell your hand made crafts, cards, knitting etc from a market stall.

Entertainments

• Hold a garden party.
• A tea or coffee morning.
• Organise a dance or a bingo session.
• Go really up-market and organise a formal ball or a concert.
