About us

Welcome to our Fundraising Page!

Here you can:

• make a one off or recurring monthly donation (see top right)
• support one of our fundraising events (see below)
• sponsor someone who has a personal fundraising challenge for WAM (see below)
• set up your own personal fundraiser for WAM (see the button at the top of the page)

We’re on a mission to get 1000 people to support us with a regular weekly donation of just £2.50 (or less people donating more!). That would consistently cover all our general running costs…..meaning that we could focus our fundraising efforts on things like minibuses, upgrading equipment, trips and special events and more importantly focus our time on what we’re really here to do….support local young people regardless of whether their school has budget for it or whether we can find a grant to run a group for them.

Too many decisions around care and support are based on budgets rather than need. You can help us to have the financial stability we need to be able to develop and grow our service.

1000 people is 16% of the Winchcombe population (1.1/% of Tewkesbury Borough) & £2.50 is one takeout coffee….

Help us to enter the 2020/21 Academic Year with a secure monthly income so that local young people can be confident in the continuation and development of services they desperately need.

Our target is to reach 1000 Coffees - you can help us do that! Click the donate button above to "buy" WAM a coffee!
