Membership of CLL Support is free and there is no charge made for publications or for attendance at our patient conferences. We are enormously grateful for the support of our members, without whose efforts we could not carry on our work.
We are reliant on obtaining funds from several areas. These include grants from major pharmaceutical companies, legacies, events, and regular donations. However, this page is aimed at our supporters and how you can actively become one of our fundraisers, or contributors, and help in maintaining the funding of the ongoing works of your organisation. Yours, because we are a member-led group with a team of unpaid voluntary trustees holding the whole thing together.
Over the past few years we have seen fundraisers taking part in various activities around the country. These have included a sky dive involving 21 sky diving fundraisers, Victoria and Dan spending their Honeymoon scaling the peaks to place a CLL Banner amid the heights of the Himalayas, Emma Collins running the Great Wall of China, and many, many more. Have a look at our members’ latest fundraising efforts:
On 9th March, Katie Savino took part in the Paris Half Marathon. She wants to raise awareness because her dad has CLL. You can donate to Katie’s JustGiving page here.
On 27th April, Matt Gibson, who is a CLL Associate, will be running in the London Marathon for us. Matt has CLL and is a keen runner. You can donate to Matt’s page here.
On 12th July, Michelle Brotherton will be doing a skydive. A very close friend of hers has been diagnosed with CLL. You can donate to Michelle’s page here.
We also have an amazing group of Triumph motorcycle enthusiasts fundraising for us throughout the year. They have set themselves a fundraising target of £8,500. Amazing, thank you so much Yorvik Vikings. We will be publishing more about what they will be doing in our next newsletter. You can donate to their JustGiving page here.
We have very recently received a further £150 from Bawtry Golf Club who were fundraising for us last year.
Look out for our newsletters throughout the year where we will be including more information about each of our fundraisers.
For those of you who might like to support them we’ve included links to their fundraising pages above.
Please get in touch if you have been inspired to take part in any fundraising events raising awareness or fundraising for us this year.
We would love to hear from you. It doesn’t have to be on the scale of those mentioned here, you might just want to hold a small coffee morning with some friends or maybe hold a plant sale. The list is endless.
Well, first you need an idea. This can be something you organise, like an afternoon tea party or a table at a table sale. Alternatively, you can sign up for a run that is local to you, open your Just Giving page and email your supporters.
Maybe clear that unwanted stuff from the garage and attend a boot sale. Many boot sale organisers will allow you a free place on production of a letter from us stating that you are raising funds for CLL Support and quoting our charity registration number.
Good luck will your fundraising and have fun. We rely on you!
