During the Covid-19 pandemic we were fortunate enough to receive funds from NHS Charities Together to help us go a little further, this included monies raised by Captain Sir Tom Moore.
To help us continue providing the extra support across AWP, we really need your help to raise funds.
We want to continue to raise funds to help our patients, carers and staff by enhancing their care environments, providing a range of therapeutic activities. At the same time, raising awareness of mental health and reducing the stigma.
If you would like to get involved in any of the ideas below but not sure of the best way – we can help you. Get in touch and we would be happy to support your ideas!

Donate in memory of a loved one
Making a donation in memory of a loved one can be a thoughtful way to remember someone and celebrate their life while helping others in the community. We’re always very grateful to receive these donations.
Donations in lieu of flowers
If you are arranging a funeral and would like to suggest a collection for Headlight Charity instead of a floral tribute you can speak to the funeral director. Most funeral directors are willing to collect donations in lieu of flowers, handling the administration of these gifts for you. They will collect the donations and send them on to us.
You can create an online memorial tribute page on JustGiving, offering family and friends the ability to make their donation online and leave a message of condolence.
Make a gift in memory
You may decide to make a one-off or regular donation to us in memory of someone close.
Fundraise in memory
Taking part in a challenge or organising your own fundraising event is a very special way to remember a loved one.

They help to fund a variety of projects across the Trust, like improving patient environments, gardening and nature, staff wellbeing projects, or equipment to help patient care and recovery.
