We are excited to be launching a new fundraising campaign: The Big 5K Drive!
This is a month-long fundraising campaign to raise £5,000 to support local adults with learning disabilities.
The money raised through the Big 5K Drive will go towards running our courses including English Skills, Walking Football, Money Skills, and more. These courses give the opportunity to gain confidence, stay active, build friendships, and learn practical skills. All of this helps the people we support to improve their independence and quality of life.
The Big 5K Drive starts at the beginning of June, and there is plenty of time for you to get involved throughout the month.
How can you join in?
The staff team at Wirral Mencap are taking on a sponsored walking challenge to raise funds.
We are aiming to walk a combined total of 4 million steps in June. That’s roughly 2,000 miles, which is the same distance as walking the entire coastline of Britain.
You can take on a step challenge in June too! You could set a target of 5,000 steps a day and ask for sponsorship money. All you need to do is set up a Just Giving page or collect a sponsorship form from the Wirral Mencap office and get walking!
You can set up a Just Giving page by clicking here and clicking the “Start Fundraising” button on our campaign page.
Call us on 0151 666 1829 or get in touch via the contact form to let us know what your challenge is and for support setting it up.
Our Tuesday Gateway Group is hosting a Tea Party in Hamilton Square and you can too!
Setting up a tea party is simple. You will need cakes, drinks, and guests. Your guests give a donation for the drinks and cakes and all money raised is donated to Wirral Mencap.
Click here to download your digital tea party kit or collect one from the office on Market Street, Birkenhead.
Call us on 0151 666 1829 if you need support.
We have set up a campaign page on Just Giving.
