Club Overheads

As Chelmsford Mencap is currently unable to house all our activities under one roof the hiring of different venues amount to a significant sum every year.

Project : To support club venue and office hire overheads

£10,350

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.

Project Cost :

£5,000

Any level of contribution towards these projects would be so much appreciated. Thank you.
