Fundraising As a charity and like all local charities we rely on the provision of funding to survive.  As we are sure you are aware the current economic climate is making the financial situation difficult for many, including ourselves.  Donations and fundraising are an important means of income for Syeda and help us to continue to provide some of the day to day services we offer.

What can you do?
Syeda currently provides FREE professional care and support for people with eating disorders and their carers. In order for us to continue to offer free support we really need your help. 

There are various ways in which you can support Syeda.

• Make a one-off donation.  
  A donation of £10 would pay for a months supply of leaflets.
  Forms are available from Syeda and you will soon be able to make a donation online.
  If you’re a UK tax payer, we can claim back 28p for every pound you give!  So please ask us for a gift aid form.

• Give regularly through a monthly standing order. 
  A donation of £2.00 per month would cover the cost of essential oil blends for one service user for a year.
  Forms are available from Syeda and you will soon be able to make a donation online.
  If you’re a UK tax payer, we can claim back 28p for every pound you give!  So please ask us for a gift aid form.

• Join Syeda’s fundraising sub-group.  
  You can help Syeda to come up with ideas and even participate in any events that are organised.

• Volunteer your time to help out.
  If you have a few hours a week to volunteer for a good cause, why not help us out.  As Syeda has such a small staff team, we sometimes struggle to be able to cover late evening opening at the centre.  We quite often need help at events in and around South Yorkshire, and we always need helpers and volunteers for our fundraising events. 
  The well being of Syeda staff comes first and foremost and all those providing a supportive role need to ensure that they are well enough to do so effectively, without any threat being posed to their own health and well being.  Anyone with personal experience of an eating disorder must have been out of treatment and free of any symptoms of disordered eating for a minimum of two years.

If you would like to support Syeda in some way please get in touch.
