Demand for our counselling services has risen by 125% since last year, and we are determined to make sure no one is left without support. But providing this level of care, including our vital free counselling service, costs in excess of €50,000 annually, all of which must be raised through fundraising.
We rely on public support for 60% of our funding, and although we do have reserves to draw upon (which allow us to continue delivering the high-quality services that so many of our service users depend on), this is not a sustainable position. Without increased income, our reserves will be depleted in a short time.
A spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating and life-changing injuries a person can experience. This year, as mentioned we’ve seen a 125% rise in the uptake of our free counselling service, which supports both individuals with spinal injuries and their family members. This service is invaluable, helping people navigate and adjust to their new reality, and we are determined to extend it to as many as possible.
If you are in a position to support us this Christmas, for any amount large or small, we would be hugely grateful.
We need to raise €50,000 this Christmas and are hoping you can help.
Please donate whatever you can to support our campaign.
THANK YOU
If you donate €250 or more in any one year, Spinal Injuries Ireland can claim an additional 45% in tax back
