Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Making Space.
Thanks to supporters, just like you, we are able to provide the care and support needed to help people live independent and fulfilling lives. You will help people living with dementia, learning difficulties, mental health conditions, carers, as well as older people and carers.
By fundraising for us, you will be making a world of difference to the people we support nationwide or to your local service, it's your choice.
The best part is that we do not take any administration fees from donations so more income is spent on direct, frontline support for the people who use our services. Every penny you raise will go the people that need it most.

Once your page is set up, email the link to your friends, family, colleagues and share across social media to make sure you get the word out there.
