How you can support

Fundraising >> How you can support

Over the years MAIN Project has been very fortunate to recieve much valued support from the Local Community, parents of children accessing our services, adults who have been through our many employability schemes, Local Business, Students and individuals who have just wanted to get involved.  To all our supporters, we thank you!

For those who are interested in supporting our fundraising and, in turn, the charity and its beneficiaries, we would love to hear from you and get you started with our fundraiser pack.

There are many ways in which you can support our charity:

•   Collection boxes - Asking Local businesses if we can put a collection box in their reception, at a till, or go into an office and do a collection, will help us to not only raise money but to build links in the community and help us to continue providing our much needed services;
•   Organising an event - MAIN Project hold regular events throughout the year, but even with this we still need more funding coming in through donations, therefore volunteers organising their own events in aid of the charity are a huge support, big or small.  This could be a bake sale, a sponsored silence, a jumble sale or even a Jamie@home party - whatever you do big or small, WILL make a difference;
•   Pack a bag - Many Supermarket chains will allow charities to go into the store and do bag packing for a few hours on a weekend, this is fabulous way to support the charity giving up a small amount of time and raise the awareness of MAIN Project and Autism;
•   Promoting events - We always need individuals who are passionate about what we do to tell others how much it benefits those accessing our services, although as a team we are doing this daily, we still need people in the community helping us out too.  Therefore support with selling tickets, putting up flyers, talking to people about the charity and its work, anything would be great.  Its not a lot of time, just a couple of hours a week, but leaving a lasting difference.
•   Supporting with donations - As a charity we are always looking for business to kindly donate goods for our up and coming events, these can be very small like buscuits or a bottle of wine, up to a signed football shirt or hotel for two for a romantic getaway.  Having confident, outgoing volunteers who are not afraid to ask for things would help boost our current donations and, in turn, increase popularity of events.

These are just a few of the small things you can do to help this wonderful charity, if you don't have the time to donate right now, why not ask your contacts if they have availability via our social networking links or try and supporting using online methods.
