Proposed future ACLT Structure (Funds dependant)

SAVE THE ACLT CHARITY APPEAL

SOS: Save the ACLT Campaign• We returned to the office after the 2010 Xmas break raring to go, but started 2011 on the worst possible footing,

devastating news about our lack of long term funding

• Rejected at final stage of a 3 year (£400k) Big Lottery Grant, only sufficient funds to survive to cover salaries and rent until March 2011

• Urgent public plea to raise £80K by the end of March 2011 to avoid closure!

• Needed to dispel the long held public viewpoint that the charity is well supported by the NHS, Anthony Nolan, Blood Service, Celebrities, Public donations etc….

• Sadly, this is not the case, we receive no government funding or funding from major supporters or philanthropic investors. 2009/10 (Aug - July) Financial year income was £227,000 leaving a -£33,000 balance shortfall rolling into 2010/11 (Aug – July)

• Virtually all income comes from small ad hoc public donations + proactive and reactive fundraising initiatives e.g. events, sport & challenge events, entertainment events etc. 2010/11 (Aug – July) Financial year overall Income up to Xmas 2010 was -£34,000. The revenue from these activities was diminishing very FAST.

The Plan to save the ACLTWhat were we going to do about it?• ACLT office team held an emergency meeting to strategize. • Contacted volunteers & everybody we could to take action and assist us with our emergency strategy. Only £50,000 in

account to cover salaries and rent. • And publicly appealed via Social Media, Ethnic press, TV, Radio, word of mouth, etc that we really needed the Black

and wider Community’s help too...

Ideas about how individuals and organisations could help• We appreciated that these are difficult times for everyone, but truly believed in the community spirit that has brought

us together over the years would prevail • As the saying goes ‘a mighty river starts with a single drop,’ If everyone made a contribution in some way, however

small, we could raise £80K or more in time• 5,000 people give £5 a month for 3 months = £75,000 + Gift Aid = £96,000• Cheque’s, Cash donations - in person, Fundraising at school, college, university, work, church or via individual

/organisational networks, club nights, etc • Recommend a key contact to help our emergency fundraising campaign • Create an online ACLT Fundraising page, where donations can easily be made

How can individuals help ACLT?Ways that people could raise funds to help ACLT?

• Online & Offline Financial donations• Club Night’s, Book Sales, A Draw or Raffle, Themed

Dance, Fashion show, Fitness workout, Golf day, Marathon run, Sport related events, Quiz night, Sponsored events (Swim, Walk, Bike ride), Search & shop online, eBay, Leave a legacy, Mobile Phone Charity Recycling Scheme, Gift Aid, etc

Ways that companies could help ACLT?

• Corporate donations, Gifts in Kind, Sponsorship payments, Secondment, Cause-Related Marketing, Legacy Giving, etc

How can individuals help ACLT?How do funds support the charity's work?

• VITAL SUPPORT for patients in life threatening conditions and their families

• RAISE AWARENESS with educational presentations in schools, workplaces, churches and communities, etc

• PROMOTE DONATION through patient appeals and media campaigns

• REGISTER LIFESAVERS to recruit lifesaving donors from under-represented minority ethnic communities to the UK's blood, bone marrow and organ registries

How can individuals help ACLT?

How would the crisis affect our work?

• Patient Appeals and Support services would continue and we endeavored to support patients and their beneficiaries as best we could. However, we asked for patience at the time as resources were stretched whilst we focused on the appeal to find more funds to keep supporting the public.

• Recruitment drives would stop in 2011 until the funding improved.

• Fundraising activities would be a key priority.
