Adopt a Bear

Adoption Matters Northwest needs your help - and there are so many ways you can support the work we do in building new families.

As a registered charity, we rely on donations from supporters to pay for our work. It doesn't matter if its small change or a major donation, cash or a Gift Aid Declaration - it all adds up.

But there is a great deal more you can do to help us find new homes for more young people.

Also, if you attend a C of E Church, perhaps you'd like to consider a role as one of a network of Parish Advocates?

If so, contact, via email Shirley Leslie

If you work for a major employer or know somebody who does, you could ask them to help us.

By making contact with large businesses we can ask them to help. They could support us by allowing us to put leaflets in payslips, letting us set up displays in the workplace or talk to their employees.

By doing this, and perhaps donating directly to us, they can really help us get the adoption message out there.

What your money could pay for:

£2,000 covers the costs of a series of preparation groups.

£1,200 will pay for a feature in the media to recruit new adopters.

£900 will pay for 3,000 leaflets to publicise our work

£550 will pay for 10 sessions of therapy for a child

£100 covers the cost of an event to support adopters.

£50 allows an initial consultation with an adopted person or birth parent

Why not download one of our posters and display it in your church hall or community centre? Visit our information leaflet page.

And the ideas shouldn't stop there. If you could think of any other ways that we can raise funds or let people know what we do, please drop us a line

Adopt-A-Bear.

Can you give a bear a home? For a donation of just £5 you can adopt one of our bears. You may chose to keep the bear or to give it to someone special. All our bears come with their own adoption certificate and all they need is a new name and a new loving home.

£3 of your donation goes towards raising money for Adoption Matters Northwest. The other £2 goes to the 'Parents for Children' charity in conjunction with 'Build-a-Bear'. All bears are 12 inches in height and are of good quality, as sold in the Build-a-bear stores therefore they are also compatible with all the matching outfits and accessories sold for the bears. If you would like a bear call 01254 57759 and speak to Gillian or email your details with a contact telephone number to fundraising@adoptionmattersnw.org and we give you more details about the Adopt-a-bear fundraising scheme.
