Fundraising

Wyre Citizens Advice Bureau receives a grant from Wyre Borough Council to maintain our core services. We have also received grants from the National Lotteries Charities Board and New Opportunities Fund and are contracted with Wyre Housing Association to provide services within Wyre.

As a charity the bureau relies on grants and donations to maintain our core activity and implement new projects. While the Wyre Borough Council grant funds the core of our work, we have new projects that also require funding.

How you can help us

• CABnet is the national CAB project to get all bureaux on-line. To enable the bureau to deliver the kind of modern service needed today we need help in purchasing IT equipment and training bureaux staff to use it
• We always need money for equipment in general or for our premises, for example, to improve access for people with disabilities.
• If you are upgrading office equipment, we may be able to make use of your old equipment.
• Sponsorship money for items such as leaflets, posters and our annual report could help improve the promotion of our services to the local community.
• Make us the Charity of the Year at your company. Donations from raffles or contests, no matter how big or small, are always welcome.
• If you are a company do you have staff that you could second or encourage to volunteer some time to provide mentoring skills to the bureau?
