Understanding our funding & ways to support us

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

Set up a regular gift. Every penny adds up - just £5 a month will mean over the course of a year you could pay for the cost of a home visit from our Community Team.
