Charity grants, crowdfunding and fundraising: making movement possible
Specialist mobility equipment can be costly, and for many families, knowing where to start with fundraising can feel daunting. In this free webinar, Tree of Hope Children’s Charity will share practical advice on charity grants, crowdfunding and fundraising, and explain how their team supports families to make fundraising clearer, more manageable and more effective.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How Tree of Hope works and the families it supports
- The support available to families throughout their fundraising journey
- Fundraising and marketing advice to get the most from a campaign
- What day-to-day support from the Tree of Hope team looks like
- A real-life family case study
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions directly to the Tree of Hope team.
Whether you are a parent or carer planning a fundraising campaign, or a physiotherapist or occupational therapist supporting a family to access specialist equipment, this webinar will give you practical guidance on where to begin.
If you are exploring funding for an Innowalk, our guide to how to access the Innowalk in the UK explains each step, from a free assessment to delivery.
