Fund Raising information

Please note that the Mia Austin appeal is not a registered charity, and therefore we do not have a Charity number, nor can we collect Gift-Aid from donations. Unfortunately, due to other commitments, we can only offer limited support for your fundraising event (such as basic website listing, simple poster designs) however, we do appreciate everyone's amazing willingness to support the appeal.
