CREST Cancer Information and Support Centre

How is CREST funded?

CREST does not receive any regular direct funding and must raise all the money it needs by itself. We rely entirely on sponsorship and donations from our generous members and the public at large.

We reclaim, on average, £350 a year via GiftAid.
This is only possible because our generous supporters have signed a GiftAid declaration.

We also raise funds by attending community markets and running raffles, sales stands and tombolas.

What does CREST spend its money on?

We do not have any paid members of staff, so our main costs are:

Services - training courses, MLD, counselling and complementary therapies - all of which we subsidise
Administration (postage, phone, website, stationery, insurance, IT and rent)
The Relaxation Day, for which we always need funding to break even

CREST needs your help if it is to continue to fulfil its aims.
