Thank you so much for thinking of fundraising for Bridewell. We would love to hear your plans
Fundraising for Bridewell
As a fundraiser you're joining an amazing community of local supporters helping Bridewell to offer a recovery service for people most affected by their mental ill health.
We need to raise 50% of our costs each year and we could not do this without our fantastic community of fundraisers.
The funds you raise can be used in many ways, for example:
- £25 covers the cost of a cooking session
- £100 pays for fuel to run the minibus for one month
- £1,200 covers the cost of compost for new plants for one year
