About 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.

Fundraising

We offer a service to the local community, and as such we feel that a significant part of our finances should be derived from local sources. We organise a limited number of events each year. Details of these are included in the events section of our web site.

We are also grateful for friends, clients and members of our own volunteer groups for running their own fund raising activities and competing in sponsored events (e.g. the marathon, walks, etc.) to provide SABN with funds. We need more of these events, so if you would like to help SABN and offer any activities or help with Fundraising activities, please contact Chris Graham on 01727 841914 or click here to send an email. She would be pleased to hear from you.

Great North Run:

Annie and Philippa Harbidge and Chris Bates took part in the Great North Run in September 2009. Sadly Philippa was unable to run due to injury but between them they raised over £1200 which was split between SABN and the National Association for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease (NACC). If you would like to enter in 2010 on this basis, places are available. Please contact us for further details.
