HOW TO HELP US
Much of the money raised by Trust PA so far has been provided by friends, family and individuals. If you are interested in helping us to end paralysis, here are some successful ideas which work …
Organise a social event to raise money.
How often do you find yourself saying to people “We must meet up”? Raising money could provide the excuse you need to pull out that diary. One of our most successful events so far was “A Night at the Races” how about scrabble, card playing night, snakes & ladders or murder mystery. Even try a sponsored party…Coffee morning… BBQ… or cheese and wine night… To make it really easy see the Justgiving info page following….jpg)
Need to lose a couple of kilo’s
for the holidays/wedding etc? What about building motivation with a sponsored diet, there are many – Atkins, Southbeach, cabbage, fruit or chocolate etc. Who knows what works best but we all need help to go down a size, why not get your friends to sponsor you per Kilo lost, in aid of Trust PA?...

Do you belong to a club or choir?
We would appreciate you asking them to hold a charity golf day… gym challenge… concert or similar event? You can then donate entrance fees and perhaps hold a bucket collection, or charge for refreshments and hold a raffle… We might also be able to help you.
Come to our Ball
We make a modest profit on ticket sales. Almost as important, you can applaud the fundraising feats of the past year and learn more about spinal cord injury and research into its cure. Contributing to the raffle and/or auction will help but also bringing your partner and just four other couples will fill a table…Next Ball Details
Donate a desirable item .jpg)
for auction or raffle at our ball or alternative fundraising event. Unused timeshare
weeks, a vacant villa, concert tickets, hairdressing vouchers, photography sitting,
Tesco vouchers, that useful Christmas or birthday present you don’t need or want
which is filling valuable space in your cupboard…
Help us to organise the Annual Grand Ball
You might have specific talents e.g. be a printer, singer, acrobat, designer, or DJ, or have new ideas, or simply be prepared to donate a couple of hours to do a mail shot or even help us set up or assist on the night. We would be pleased to hear from you…
Perform a feat of physical endurance
If you are a fitness fiend, how about running a marathon or half marathon, sky dive, bungee jump, abseil a building, climb a mountain, swim the channel, cycle miles say Cardiff to London or push a bed. Alternatively approach an outdoor activity centre and try and obtain an Activity Day for Trust PA and invite all your friends and work mates...

Corporate Sponsorship.jpg)
Please ask your employer if they will match your sponsorship efforts £ for £. Do they operate a charity scheme which might be able to help Trust PA. An example is: Nominating Trust PA as your company charity of the year for example or donating the profits from a company event, sports day or other event, please ask them...
Other people prefer to do something bizarre
and get sponsored like having a bath in beans, shave your head, build a bike for ten, hold a spoon and egg race, hold a duck (plastic) river race, mad hatters tea party, custard pie fight, tug of war, build a mile trail of pennies or any other mad antic all for fun and finance…
What about a great day out
driving a fire engine, tank, train or other strange and unusual vehicle take your friends and get sponsored by your pals, firm or organisation. Hold a sponsored car wash, lawn cutting, window cleaning – ask the scouts or the fire service, army or navy to help The options are endless…
Auction something very original and kooky!
like - stand in a bowl of porridge for 12hrs, live in a tree for a month to help Trust PA the papers/press/media will lap it up and you could become a local celebrity for a day while promoting the charity! Spreading the word is also very important.
Speak to a local restaurant
about holding a night there. Negotiate        with local Indian restaurant to provide a set 2 course meal for everyone at for example £5/head, and then raise funds by charging £10/head. The restaurant makes money on the drinks and if you write to your local paper the restaurant gets free publicity and Trust PA will benefit too. It’s a really fun night and you could also a raffle a bottle of something to boost funds.
Getting married or have a milestone anniversary/birthday?
Have you already got all the toasters and kettles you need? Would you like your wedding day to be a special occasion for even more people? If so, why not celebrate your Birthday or Anniversary by asking your guests to donate a percentage or all to Trust PA instead? To make it really easy see the Justgiving info page see HERE and Donations can benefit from Gift Aid see HERE
If people don’t want to donate their money to you
ask them to donate their stuff and sell it at a local car boot sale. Make sure you take our collection boxes and leaflets and have a sign telling people that it all goes to Trust PA. You will get plenty of interest while raising awareness of Trust PA too and don't forget donations can be increased by the tax man via Gift Aid see below.
