Why donate to a local charity?
By donating to a local charity such as Supportability, you are making a difference to the lives of people with disabilities in Stockport.
Every penny counts, and even a small amount can help. Your donations enable the people we support to make new friends and learn new skills.
Alongside our services, we also give carers an opportunity to recharge their batteries and have a break from their caring responsibilities.
You could be contributing towards equipment, such as adapted bikes at our Wheelers Accessible Cycling sessions. You could also help with allotment fees, the purchase of arts and crafts materials, music and dance sessions, helping to run a minibus or days out to local attractions.
What can my donation pay for?
Ensuring that we have the funds available to help pay for these items or activities means that we are in a better position to be able to provide the best experiences we can for disabled children, young people and adults with learning disabilities.
£50 pays for a two-hour accessible art session that allows the people we support to express themselves creatively with their friends.
£150 pays for a weeks worth of cookery ingredients which allows the people we support to engage in learning key kitchen skills and feeds them healthy and nutritious meals
£1500 pays for a full festival day at Granville House, including: food and drinks, a DJ, karaoke, a 360 photo-booth, a face painter, a dessert bar and much more!
If you don’t have the means to donate, there are other ways that you can support us. From cheering on a sponsored runner to helping out at our Golf Day, any time and support you can provide will be truly appreciated. It doesn’t matter if it’s only a few hours – each and every hour is equally valued. Find out more about volunteering.
