Media and Advertising

To ensure as many of our potential family clients are made aware of what Chelmsford Mencap can provide, and to enable potential donors and supporters to be as informed as possible, the Charity needs to invest in an ongoing PR campaign and regularly update its promotional material and web site. Contributions towards the following are sought:

Projects:

Promotional materials

£8,000

 Office equipment

Much of the office equipment is old and does not meet modern standards. A programme of phased replacement is necessary at an average of £300 per office item.

Please help Chelmsford Mencap meet their goals and objectives by contributing towards our major projects. Here are a few examples:

Project : New Building – The Chelmsford Mencap Discovery Centre

Chelmsford Mencap do not currently own a building in which we can operate our seven clubs from.  We are looking for businesses and individuals to help us raise money so that we can buy new premises which will allow us to hold all our activities under one roof.  With the right facilities there will many more fantastic opportunities open to our members and volunteers.  With a new ‘Discovery Centre’ we hope to be able to impliment a stronger supportive community structure to help our parents, carers, members and volunteers, as well as helping our members with special needs get into work and to maximise their true potential. 

Project : New Building

£500,000
