Fund Raising and Finance

In order for SABN to support those who have been bereaved, we need to secure sufficient funding to meet the day to day costs.  We also need to ensure that those funds raised are used wisely and in accordance with our agreed Annual Budget.

It is our aim to secure the majority of long term funding from statutory sources, particularly from organisations within the care sector.

We need to raise in the region of £100,000 per year to meet our costs, and at least £50,000 needs to come from non statutory sources. i.e. Donations, Grants from Corporate Sources or Charitable Trusts, Event Fundraising, Sponsorships, Gift Aid.

We recognise that to increase funding, we must also maximise our identity locally and ensure that the locality is familiar with our brand/activities.

If you are a Corporate Body or Charitable Trust and wish to support us financially, please contact us.
