What our patients and their families say about us:

"the day centre is a wonderful place"

Sponsor A Service

 Help keep our services running by sponsoring one
 
 Sponsor one of our patient services
An increasing number of supporters wish to make a donation towards something specific. This is particularly the case when a donation is made in memory of a loved one. In light of this we have developed a scheme where supporters can Sponsor a Service.

The Sponsor a Service Scheme

When you Sponsor a Service you make a donation that will deliver a specific aspect of care. You can also choose the day you would like to do this on – this could be a special anniversary or a birthday. This September our inpatient unit is celebrating its 10th Birthday and we shall be undertaking a series of celebrations and new fundraising activities. Maybe you would like to sponsor this vital service to help celebrate with us?

When you sponsor a service we will:

  • Display a plaque recognising your support
  • Invite you and any friends and family to visit on that day and see the plaque
  • Present you with your own copy of the plaque as a memento
  • Send you a personalized pack outlining what your donation has made possible
  • Send a press release to the local press to highlight your support to the local community.

Here are some examples of the services you could sponsor:
