We Hear You’s Mad March campaign is fast approaching and this year the charity is asking for help to raise £30,800 which will provide 700 counselling sessions, or nearly two months counselling free of charge to anyone who needs their support.
Gemma Wilkes from We Hear You said, “There are so many ways you can help us to fundraise and every penny helps those affected by cancer. Host a coffee morning, a cake sale at work or a fancy dress night out? We are also seeking prizes for our hugely popular Mad March Auction.”
Melissa Hillier, Director said, “We Hear You has seen an unprecedented rise in the number of referrals to its service with the demand increasing by a phenomenal 60%. Although we have increased the number of weekly sessions we offer to the local community our waiting list has never been higher.
“Our supporters have been amazing helping us to raise funds by running marathons, jumping out of planes and baking, but in order to meet the current demand for our service Mad March has never been so vital a campaign for us. It’s such a great way to do something fun and enjoyable knowing that you are helping to support hundreds of families who have been affected by cancer and who call our service a lifeline.
“The need for emotional support for those affected by cancer or other life threatening conditions has never been so great. WHY is a small local charity and we rely heavily on the communities we work in supporting us through various fundraising activities. Get involved and tell us about it, we are here to help with ideas and promote events!”
