As a charity ECHO relies on fundraising to help us keep activities running for really vulnerable adults in Herefordshire.
We also want to make sure that the projects we run are of the highest quality and not just a standard offer. We want to support people to be the best they can be and this takes time and resources.
This is why we ask if you benefit from our services, know someone who does or just agree that people with disabilities should be given a real chance in life, that you help us raise the funds we need to develop and grow.
Ways you can help
There are many ways you can help us and it doesn’t matter if it is a little or a lot- we are grateful for anything that we receive and it all adds up over the year.
Even if the only thing you can give is time, this is really valuable too. If you would like to help us as a fundraising volunteer for an event or longer term that would be amazing.
Your kindness helps our participants shine.
Turn your brilliant ideas into real impact.
Give a little time, change a life in a big way.
In Memoriam Donations
Many families and friends choose to make funeral donations in memory of a loved one. This can be a powerful and wonderful way to celebrate and honour them.
You might choose to do this at their funeral or celebration of life by asking for donations instead of flowers. We can provide Gift Aid envelopes or you can set up a Remembrance page for your loved one.
If you would like help to set this up email penny.weir@echoherefordshire.org.uk or ring the office on 01568 620307.
Collecting tins
There are two ways that you can help with with raising money with collection tins
Host a collection tin
Are you a business or public building? If so you could support us by hosting a collection tin in a public area of your premises for us.
We would provide you with a sealed tin and will periodically come to you collect it and replace it with a new one. We will also provide you with acknowledgement for how much your customers have raised to thank them and you for your support.
Be a street collector for ECHO
We are always looking for volunteers who are happy to help out at events and on fundraising activities. It is not just about raising funds but also about raising the profile of our participants and the great things they achieve with us.
All volunteers get an ID, a sealed tin and any other information they might need. They will be supported by staff on the day.
For more information or to host a collection tin please contact penny.weir@echoherefordshire.co.uk or call 01568 620 307.
