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.

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 "Donate here".

This year we are aiming to raise £70,000 to fund additional projects including the production of a guide to Post Polio Syndrome which will be provided free of charge to all members. We are also seeking help to fund an additional benefits advisor in our Support Services team in a year when we anticipate our existing resources will be stretched to the limit. If you can help please click on Donate here and follow the links.

We need to raise about £60,000 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 per month would cover one person’s subscription.

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.

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.

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
