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. We would encourage you to make a donation via the charity’s bank. For the details please click here to email us

We are so grateful to all of those who took part in the 2022 London 10k run – despite very high temperatures! You helped make it a successful and hopefully an enjoyable occasion – even if only with hindsight (!). We send a special thank you to their many generous sponsors. Here’s a photo of the 2022 team.
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 2023. Please contact us here.
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 here. (Please do NOT use Justgiving – this is too expensive for a small charity like ours to use)

The Wonderful Organisation was launched in 2016, to address the problem that donations raised in the vast majority of UK fundraising campaigns were not being passed to charities in full. In fact, a sizeable chunk was being lost by charities to fundraising platforms’ administration charges, monthly subscription fees, card processing costs and deductions from Gift Aid. This is a totally fee-free alternative.
