Natwest launches Community Force
A £2.8 million grant fund to help local charities raise the publicity of their work and attract volunteers.
158 Community Force areas have been set up, including seven in the East Midlands, and each will offer three local projects the chance to win an award of £6,000 each.
An online public vote on Natwest's
website will decide then which three organisations should receive the awards.
Voting will open from 26th September until 23rd October. Please take a moment to vote for Leicestershire Leicester and Rutland Headway to support us. You will be able to do this on the Natwest Community Force website and there will also be links from our Headway Leicester website, Headway Leicester Facebook page and Twitter.
We are up against a large number of other charities, community projects and even other branches of Headway, so please spread the word and get everybody you know voting as every single one of your votes will count! Thank you for your support. Zina Visa
Donate to Headway
Headway Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland relies on voluntary donations to continue to provide vital services to brain injury survivors and their families.
Headway is independent and impartial. As more people now survive accidents and live with brain injury, the need for our work is growing. There are a number of ways to donate to Headway and if you are a taxpayer your gift could be worth 28% more - just remember to tick the Gift Aid box when you fill in the relevant form.
Here are some examples of how your donations can be used:
- to sponsor a person with brain injury to attend Headway House
- sessional tutors in arts and craft lessons
- to hire transport for outings
- to purchase equipment for Headway House
May 2010
At last! We've managed to
set up a "Justgiving‟
account – it'd taken us
about two months, but we
got there in the end. This
means everyone can make
donations to us safely
online. You can donate any
amount, at any time –
preferably late on a
Saturday night, when
you‟ve had far too much to
drink – that way you might
give us more than you
intended!
