Raising funds

In most instances the Joseph Patrick Trust does not provide the full cost of the equipment. The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign has compiled a factsheet that lists other charities and trusts that may be able to help you with fundraising. Before deciding to raise funds it would be advisable to clarify what the statutory services have a duty to provide, and in what circumstances they can provide funds. Charitable funds should only be used for things which the statutory services are unable to provide. For information on raising funds, you can download the factsheet as a Word document: Raising funds (191 kb) [doc]
