WAMES is going on a fundraising journey – Why?

We need £800 by the end of March 2023

Our income has dwindled, so we won’t be able to pay our basic bills after this year.

We are not the only charity to be facing problems. A number have been forced to close in recent years. Our fund raising journey is not of our choosing but it is vital if we wish to stay active and avoid a similar fate.

There are many ME organisations in the UK, all with different strengths and priorities. None do what WAMES does. We are the only charity where Welsh residents come together to share information and speak out for the services we need.

Why £800?

Our budget for ‘running costs’ in 2023 is:

• Website £400
• Insurance £300
• Admin  £100      Total:   £800

If face to face meetings return in 2023 then we will need to find further funding  for transport and accommodation, to enable us to represent people with ME.

We will also need additional funding to build a new website, and we will explore all options for this.

How?

Asking people for money at a time of rising prices is not ideal. (A bit of an understatement!) That is why we invite you to join us during 2022. Maybe YOU have the skills we need to help us explore all the different ways that we can raise money which are free, low energy, inspire friends and family to join us or will attract outside funding. You could sign up as a volunteer, send us some ideas or organise your own fundraising action. Join us on our fundraising journey!
