Each year at clarity we like to make a donation to a chosen charity, as an alternative to sending traditional Christmas cards to clients. As this year is our 10th birthday we have decided to take on a special project.

Our chosen charity for 2008 will be The David Lewis National Epilepsy Centre, the centre provides services to 250 people with complex epilepsy and associated neurological disorders for whom every day life represents a significant challenge.

The Challenge

The David Lewis Centre needs to raise enough money to buy 12 new minibuses over the next 3 years. These minibuses will replace their current stock of vehicles, which have seen better days. Each minibus is used from 8am to 10pm every day; to transport the residents to places such as college, work or just into town. The minibuses help the residents develop new skills, make friends and learn to be independent. Without these minibuses this would simply not be possible.

Our Contribution

We have set ourselves the ambitious task of raising enough money to purchase one of these minibuses; this sets our fundraising target at £28,000. As this is a considerable target, we plan to match any money raised by clarity clients, contacts and friends, up to the target amount. Therefore in order to raise the money needed for a minibus we need to collect donations of at least £14,000.  clarity will match £1 for £1 up to this level giving us the £28,000 we need. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: David Lewis Centre will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
