Support us
As a charity, receiving support is hugely important in making sure we can continue to deliver our life enhancing work. We keep our programme fees low so that we’re accessible to as many people as possible. This means that we have to find money from elsewhere to subsidise the costs, and your donations play an important part in that.
There are a number of ways you can support us, and we’re very grateful for anything that you can offer.
Ways to support us
Donate
You can make a one-off or regular donation through JustGiving. Your donation can help us to provide the high quality, accessible learning experiences that we’re known for, providing the resources we need to ensure that participants have the opportunity to learn and develop in a fun and inclusive environment.
Sponsor a bursary
We offer a limited number of bursary places to people who aren’t in a position to pay to attend our programmes. By sponsoring one of these places, your generous donation can make a real difference to somebody’s life, like John.
Donate resources
We use a LOT of resources on our programmes: tea bags, felt tips, costumes, musical instruments, IT equipment and anything and everything in between! If you think you might have something we could use, please get in touch – you’d be surprised what we can find a use for!
Fundraise for us
In the past, our supporters have undertaken some weird and wonderful feats to fundraise for Purple Patch including a three-peaks challenge, bake-a-thon and ball. If you have an idea for a fundraiser you could do, then please get in touch.
