How Can I Help?

Our success depends upon the support of a wide range of organisations and individuals.

Stakeholders

We encourage support groups, charities addressing those who would benefit from hydrotherapy and/or a PAEG, sports clubs and any others who feel a strong affinity with our aims and objectives to get in touch. We want to hear of your needs, your experiences, your ideas. Some of our stakeholders wish to become shareholders and trustees, helping to shape how our Therapy Centre should be built and run.

Benefactors

In the present phase we are acquiring land and planning permission, paying professional fees and funding the building. We are seeking substantial donations of capital from charitable trusts and other organisations.

When the Therapy Centre is in operation then we shall have a ‘Friends of ...’ fund seeking donations to assist us to run the centre and to subsidise needy users.

Volunteers

There is a huge amount of work to do to create this Therapy Centre. Right now we are especially seeking professional skills. Our top priorities are the following:

Somebody who has hands-on experience of physiotherapy - especially hydrotherapy - to join the Board of Trustees;
A helper with a background in PR and promotion;
Somebody who has fund-raising experience - to join the Board of Trustees if they wish.

If you have time to spare and would like to help then please contact us.
