We are thrilled to share the news that our BIG GIVE campaign was a BIG success!
Thanks to the generosity of members of the public, companies, community groups, users of our services, staff, volunteers and Trustees, our Small Charity Week Big Give match funding appeal surpassed it’s target.
Through the Small Charity Week match funding scheme, organised by the Big Give, the NCVO and Global’s Make Some Noise, we were allocated up to £1,250 in match funds, thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery. We had one week to then raise £1,250 ourselves to be able to access the match funding and have it doubled to £2,500.
We are so grateful that so many people decided to take up the opportunity of seeing their donation doubled and generously gave to our campaign. In just one week £1,437 was donated which when doubled and with Gift Aid added, made a grand total of £2,911.50!
This will make a big difference to the older visually impaired people who benefit from our Befriending Project.
“I look forward to her visits. I still feel lonely when I’m on my own but I always know she is going to visit so I can look forward to that and know it will make me happy”
“Whoever put us together – they are an angel!”
From everyone here at Sight Support Derbyshire – a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated so generously.
