Donations

As a small independent charity dealing with a low incidence disability, fundraising is particularly difficult. We don’t charge families for membership of our group as we are very aware of the demands on them these days, so we really need your help and are extremely grateful for any donations.

  • If you would like to make a donation and require the charity’s bank details please click here to email us
  • CICS also has a dedicated fundraising page on virginmoneygiving – to get to the page please click here

  • For several years a major fundraiser has been the CICS team taking part in the London 10K run. Sadly the 2020 run, which was to be held on 5th July, was cancelled because of the Coronavirus pandemic that is affecting so much of our lives. We very much hope this event will take place in 2021.

    If you’d like to help us as a runner we would love you to join our team. Please contact us here and we will let you know as soon as we have a date. The route of the 2019 run can be found at the British London 10k Run.

      • Fundraising – We were pleased to welcome the Mayor of Richmond, Councillor Nancy Baldwin to our fundraising stall at the St Margaret’s Fair in July 2019

      Thank you to all of those who took part in the 2019 London 10k run and helped to make it a successful and hopefully an enjoyable occasion – even if only with hindsight! The photo shows most of the CICS team of runners. A special thank you to the many generous sponsors.

      You can also go here to make a donation to CICS. Search for CICS in the Find a Charity box.

      If you are a runner we would love you to join our team for 2021. Please contact us here.

      CICS has signed up to the Ultra Challenge Series which offers individuals participation in various sponsored sports activities that are now live and open for registration. Signing up is easy – go to their website, www.actionchallenge.com, find a challenge that interests you, follow the link to it, choose CICS as your charity from the drop-down list under the ‘Children’ section,
       

      Many people now encourage sponsors to give online rather than collecting cash. If you’re going to do this, please set up a fundraising page on Virgin Money Giving. (Please do NOT use Justgiving – this is too expensive for a small charity like ours to use)
