Our Wishlist

Whilst the majority of our fundraising still comes from grant-making trusts and foundations, by starting the Friends of HighGround our aim is to diversify our funding sources to include more corporate and personal donations.

To that end, we have drawn up a Wishlist which we update quarterly. Each item on the Wishlist is currently unfunded, and we hope this will inspire you, our Friends and supporters, to help us raise the funds for all these essential items – we run a pretty tight ship…

Horticultural Therapy at Stanford Hall

It costs the Charity £92 to deliver a 30 minute session to one of DMRC’s patients. In 2021 we will deliver 1,250 sessions and fundraising is under way to ensure we can keep delivering this unique and increasingly well-used service.

Rural Weeks

Each Rural Week costs the Charity £16,371 to deliver for 8 participants. This includes the cost of all food, accommodation, teaching, HighGround staff and core costs, and presenters’ expenses. We give all the service leavers and veterans who join us a green fleece gilet embroidered with HighGround’s logo which helps with teambuilding and also enables Bicton’s students to recognise their HighGround guests. Your support can help us to make a real difference to all these people, who have proudly served their Country.

If you would like more information about the items above please email Anna for more information or telephone Anna: 07951 495272.

Thank-you in advance.
