We are currently actively looking at new ways of raising money for Prospex. One idea that continually comes to the forefront is to enlist the help of volunteers and the local community, along with the Prospex team and our young people, to raise money through high profile events such as sky diving, the London to Brighton Bike Ride and marathons These by no means cover all the types of events that people could do, they merely illustrate the general idea of where we are coming from.

To convey an idea of targets that could be achieved, we currently have just over 250 subscribers to our monthly newsletter. If each reader could raise even just £100 per year that would give Prospex an amazing £25,000 of unrestricted funding towards our core costs. Not a huge amount to raise individually, but collectively a substantial amount, we are sure you would agree.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you could donate £105 p.a. to Prospex by making a regular monthly donation of £7 through Gift Aid. Your annual donation of £84 p.a. would be made up to £105 by the Government. Indeed from now until April 2011, the Government will add a further 3 per cent to charitable donations, making your donation worth £108.15. Higher rate taxpayers could then also claim back £21 in tax from the government on their tax returns so their donation, worth £108.15 to Prospex, would only cost them £63.

A regular monthly donation of £10 would be worth £153.60 to Prospex, and would cost higher rate taxpayers £90 p.a.

So, come on everybody, what can you do for your charity, Prospex? If you can make a regular or one-off donation, please do so through the Support Us section of our website. If you can help with a fundraising event, please let us know at Happy-2-Help
