Understanding our funding
Our running costs this year total £7.87m, which is a 2% increase on 2024/25. That means to fund our services, all of which are provided free of charge, we need to raise £10,564 every single day.
For every £1 donated, 89p is spent funding our patient services. This covers salaries, travel costs, medical supplies, our energy bills, catering costs and raising awareness of our services. 11p is used to raise the next £1.
Our costs include:
- £22 - an hour of care for someone on our Inpatient Unit
- £35 - a return trip for 7 people in the minibus to a wellbeing hub or rehab and wellbeing activity
- £43 - a counselling session from our Family Support team
- £69 - will keep our patients warm and provide warm water for baths and cleaning, for a day
- £110 - travel costs for the Community team for one day
- £111 - an activity from our Rehab and Wellbeing team, such as a physiotherapy appointment or tai chi class
- £205 - the medication we provide our patients on the Inpatient Unit, per day
- £809 - a day of home visits from our Community team
Donate
Set up a regular gift. The benefit of giving on a monthly basis is we can plan with confidence. Every penny adds up - just £5 a month will mean that over the course of a year you could pay for the cost of someone’s home visit from our Community Team. Or, make a one-off donation.
Join an event
There’s something for everyone in our events calendar, from our atmospheric Sunset Starlight Walk, to a fitness challenge of a lifetime, to a good night out with friends.
