Appeals
Our appeals fund specific projects and some of the core work of the Fellowship and enable our members and supporters to make a contribution to a particular cause that is dear to their hearts.
The British Polio Week 3-11 July 2010
A Big Thank you to our members, friends and families for making Polio week a great success!!! We are still collecting monies in and once we have a total amount raised we will let you know.
Remember to let us know what you did to raise money for the The Fellowship during Polio week and send those photographs in, so we can share your fundraising stories. Ann Attwater had a Barbecue and managed to raise a staggering £750. Please see photographs of some of our runners from London 10K who run for The Fellowship and successfully raised £650.
Well Done Everyone!
Bulletin appeal
We need to raise about £75,000 a year to cover the costs of producing and posting The Bulletin. The magazine is an essential source of information for our members and a regular donation of £2.50 per month would cover one person’s subscription.
2010 Research and Orthotics Appeal
This appeal will help raise funds to invest in more medical research and so help with covering the costs of our Expert and Orthotics Panels, both of which had major input in the PPS Guide and Orthotics leaflet published in 2009. This appeal will run throughout 2010. Click "

Winter Appeal 2010
The Fellowship strives to support all people with polio in the UK in a variety of ways including grants to help with high winter fuel costs.
In order to continue to improve and extend our services we need your help.
The British Polio Fellowship does not receive any government funding for our basic core work. We are entirely reliant on the generosity of our members and supporters.
If you would like to make a donation over the phone or set up a Direct Debit, please call 0208 836 3679, or send your cheque payable to the ‘British Polio Fellowship’ and marked ‘Winter Appeal’ to Unit A, Eagle Office Centre, The Runway, South Ruislip, HA4 6SE.
Spring Appeal
With the arrival of spring and warmer weather, we all feel like getting out and about more. This appeal is to enable us to provide grants to people with mobility difficulties so they can buy equipment and mobility aids to improve their independence and quality of life. A regular donation of £50 per month would provide a scooter for a person impaired by polio.
Indoor Games Appeal
We need to raise £25,000 each year to ensure the continuation of this much-loved and unique social event which enables people with polio from all over the country to compete in a wide range of indoor games. A regular donation of £25 per month would cover the transport costs for one team of competitors
