Fundraising

Would you consider fundraising for us?

We are so grateful to all our supporters. As a charity, Our Space receives no government funding and we are entirely responsible for generating the income we need to run our charity. We could not do this without the help of our generous supporters and we would love for you to get involved. Any amount raised, whether large or small, is greatly appreciated and makes a huge difference to us.

There are so many ways in which you can get involved!

Make a one-off donation

Making a one off donation is the easiest way to help us to continue to provide our services. 

This can be done via our JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/ourspace 

Or if you would prefer to pay directly into our bank – contact us for bank details.

Fundraising events

Fundraising events can be a great way to have fun whilst raising vital funds for Our Space, as well as raising awareness about our charity

There are so many ways to get involved such as cake sales, non uniform/dress down days, sponsored walks (of any length!), danceathons, karaoke, sponsored swims, abseils, quiz nights, car boot sales, the list is endless and we are sure that you will have plenty of good ideas! We are happy to help you to publicise the event on our website and social media; and we can provide you with sponsor forms and information so that you can set up your event on our JustGiving page.

Employer match-funding

Many companies throughout the UK offer their employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by ‘matching’ the money they raise. Whether you are fundraising independently or together with friends from work, why not ask your employer if they can match your fundraising.

Gift Aid

Making a Gift Aid donation means that charities can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It does not cost you any extra. To be able to claim we need a declaration from you that simply says you wish for your donation/s to be gift aided, and that you are a tax payer.

Collection Boxes

If you know of a business that would be willing to hold one of our collection boxes, please let us know and we can send you all the information. Please help us to spread the word and get more of our collection boxes out into the community.

Come along to support our Fundraising events

We run a range of fundraising events throughout the year. Why not check out our events calendar and come along to support us, whilst having fun at the same time! If you can’t attend, maybe you could help by supplying a raffle prize or donating items that we can use on a tombola stall?

If you are holding a fundraising event for Our Space, please let us know and we can help to promote it.

Why not make a donation today?

As a charity we receive no government funding and we rely on the kind support of our community to keep our charity open for the hundreds of families that visit us each year. Without this support, many parents have told us that they would struggle to find a safe, secure and understanding place for their child to play.
