How To Help Us

Child at TVAP

We rely heavily on public support. Donations of all kinds enable our charity to help the 30,000+ people that benefit annually.

With running costs almost £350,000 a year, and with as little as 5% of our income coming from local authority grants, financial help is our most urgent requirement, but there are many ways to support us, and we would be delighted with help with any of them!

TVAP has a programme of fundraising events throughout the year, participation and sponsorship for these events is always needed!

If you are planning a challenge or event, perhaps could you do it in aid of us? If so please get in touch and have look at our fundraising page.

We would be delighted to have your help - for more information please see the menu and call 01628 628051 or email theplayground@tvap.co.uk.
